EXAMPLES
Add additional files to an existing fileset:
swmodify -xfiles=’/tmp/a /tmp/b /tmp/c’ PRODUCT.FILESET
Replace the definitions of existing files in an existing fileset (for example, to update current values for the
files’ attributes):
chown root /tmp/a /tmp/b
swmodify -x files=’/tmp/a /tmp/b’ PRODUCT.FILESET
Delete control files from a fileset in an existing depot:
swmodify -d -u -x control_files=’checkinstall subscript’ \
PRODUCT.FILESET @ /var/spool/sw
Create a new fileset definition where the description is contained in the PSF file
new_fileset_definition
:
swmodify -s new_fileset_definition
Delete an obsolete fileset definition:
swmodify -u PRODUCT.FILESET
Commit a patch (remove files saved for patch rollback):
swmodify -x patch_commit=true PATCH
Create some new bundle definitions for products in an existing depot:
swmodify -d -s new_bundle_definitions \* @ /mfg/master_depot
Modify the values of some fileset’s attributes:
swmodify -a state=installed PRODUCT.FILESET
Modify the attributes of a depot:
swmodify -a title=’Manufacturing’s master depot’ \
-a description=</tmp/mfg.description @ /mfg/master_depot
