Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the
swconfig command are:
LANG Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If
LANG is not specified or
is set to the empty string, a default value of
C is used. See lang (5) for more informa-
tion.
NOTE: The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed
is set by the system configuration variable script,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
.For
example,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
, must be set to
LANG=ja_JP.SJIS
or
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
LC_ALL Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified
by the settings of
LANG or any environment variables beginning with
LC_.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for
example, single versus multibyte characters in values for vendor-defined attributes).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the language in which messages should be written.
LC_TIME Determines the format of dates (create_date and mod_date ) when displayed by
swlist. Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in stdout, stderr,
and logging.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Environment variables that affect scripts are:
SW_CATALOG
Holds the path to the Installed Products Database (IPD), relative to the path in the
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY
environment variable. Note that you can specify a path for
the IPD using the
installed_software_catalog
default option.
SW_CONFIG_AFTER_REBOOT
This variable should be read only by the configure script. If this is set to any value
it indicates the configure script was invoked by the swconfig command during
system startup. This variable is set by the /sbin/init.d/swconfig
system
startup script.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog
directory, or a directory within in the Installed Products Database (IPD). This vari-
able tells scripts where other control scripts for the software are located (for example,
subscripts).
SW_CONTROL_TAG
Holds the tag name of the control_file being executed. When packaging software, you
can define a physical name and path for a control file in a depot. This lets you define
the control_file with a name other than its tag and lets you use multiple control file
definitions to point to the same file. A control_file can query the SW_CONTROL_TAG
variable to determine which tag is being executed.
SW_LOCATION
Defines the location of the product, which may have been changed from the default
product directory. When combined with the SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY, this variable
tells scripts where the product files are located.
SW_PATH A PATH variable which defines a minimum set of commands available for use in a
control script (for example, /sbin:/usr/bin).
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY
Defines the root directory in which the session is operating, either "/" or an alternate
root directory. This variable tells control scripts the root directory in which the pro-
ducts are installed. A script must use this directory as a prefix to SW_LOCATION to
locate the product’s installed files. The configure script is only run when
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY is /.
