product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version]
• The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the following shell
wildcard and pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?
For example, *man selects all bundles and products with tags that end with "man".
• Bundles and subproducts are recursive. Bundles can contain other bundles and sub-
products can contain other subproducts, for example:
bun1.bun2.prod.sub1.sub2.fset,r=1.0
or (using expressions):
bun[12].bun?.prod.sub*,a=HP-UX
• The \* software specification selects all products. Use this specification with caution.
The version component has the form:
[,r <op> revision][,a <op> arch][,v <op> vendor]
[,c
<op> category][,q=qualifier
][,l=location]
[,fr
<op> revision][,fa <op> arch]
• location applies only to installed software and refers to software installed to a location
other than the default product directory.
• fr and fa apply only to filesets.
• The <op> (relational operator) component can be of the form:
==, >=, <=, <, >,or!=
which performs individual comparisons on dot-separated fields.
For example, r>=B.10.00 chooses all revisions greater than or equal to B.10.00.
The system compares each dot-separated field to find matches. Shell patterns are not
allowed with these operators.
• The
= (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the shell wildcard
and pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?, !
For example, the expression r=1[01].* returns any revision in version 10 or ver-
sion 11.
• All version components are repeatable within a single specification (e.g. r>=A.12,
r<A.20). If multiple components are used, the selection must match all components.
• Fully qualified software specs include the r=, a=, and v= version com-
ponents even if they contain empty strings. For installed software, l= is also
included.
• No space or tab characters are allowed in a software selection.
• The software instance_id can take the place of the version component. It has the form:
[instance_id]
within the context of an exported catalog, where instance_id is an integer that distin-
guishes versions of products and bundles with the same tag.
