fileset A grouping of one or more files contained in a product or sub-product. It groups a subset of
a product’s files into a manageable unit. A fileset can also contain zero or more
control_files.
file The actual files that make up a fileset that get installed, configured, and removed.
control_files
The scripts developed by vendors to perform product-orfileset-specific operations during
various software management tasks. Often called control_scripts.
OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
The following tables summarize the valid attributes for each software object class. A subset of these attri-
butes can be defined for an object when creating products or bundles with
swpackage. See swpackage(4)
for details on this subset.
The attribute value types are defined in the next section, "VALUE TYPES".
Vendor-Defined Attributes
You can create your own software attributes when packaging software. Keywords in a product specification
file that are not recognized by SD are preserved, along with their associated values, by being transferred to
the resulting INDEX or INFO files created by
swpackageor swcopy. (Refer to swpackage(4) for more
information on INDEX and INFO files.)
The keyword is a filename character string. The value associated with a keyword is processed as an
attribute_value. It can be continued across multiple input lines or can reference a file containing the value
for the keyword.
Vendor-defined attributes are noted during packaging or when modified with
swmodify. These attributes
can be listed with
swlist.
