Software Selections
The swconfig command supports the following syntax for each software_selection:
bundle
[.product[.subproduct][.
fileset]][,version]
product[.subproduct][.fileset
][,version]
• The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the following shell wildcard
and pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?
• Bundles and subproducts are recursive. Bundles can contain other bundles and subproducts can
contain other subproducts.
• 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.
• r , a , v , c , and l apply only to bundles and products. They are applied to the leftmost bun-
dle or product in a software specification.
• 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 sys-
tem compares each dot-separated field to find matches.
• 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 version 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 components even if they con-
tain empty strings.
• 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 distinguishes ver-
sions of products and bundles with the same tag.
The
\* software specification selects all products. It is not allowed when removing software from the root
directory /.
Tar get Selections
swconfig
supports this syntax for each target_selection.
[host][:][/directory]
The : (colon) is required if both a host and directory are specified.
