information. See the inventory_source
extended option for more details.
-t target_depot
The depot that software is copied into as specified by target_depot. This is where patches from
HP are copied into. Normally, the target_depot should be empty and a new depot will be
created. If the depot already exists, you must specify the advanced option
-x allow_existing_depot=true
and understand its implications. (See also the
-x allow_existing_depot
option in Extended Options).
-q The verbosity level is decreased by one for each instance
-q is specified. (See also the
-x verbosity
option.)
-v The verbosity level is increased by one for each instance
-v is specified. (See also the
-x verbosity
option.)
-? Displays general usage.
-option -?
Describes the legal values for this option. If option is
-x, all possible extended options are listed
for the specified major mode (
swa command). If no major mode is given, all extended options
are listed for all the major modes.
-x option=value
Sets the extended option to a value. See the Extended Options definitions below.
-x option=-?
Describes the legal values for this option.
-X option_file
Gets the extended options from option_file. For a description and examples of syntax for this
file, see the /etc/opt/swa/swa.conf.template
file.
Extended Options
The extended options may be specified in different ways: on the command line using the
-x option, in an
option file specified using the
-X option, or in one of the configuration files
/etc/opt/swa/swa.conf
(system wide) or $HOME/.swa.conf
(user-specific). The /etc/opt/swa/swa.conf.template
file provides example syntax for a configuration or -X file.
If the same option is given in multiple locations, the following order is prioritized from highest to lowest:
1. Options specified on the command line
2. Options specified within an option file (
-X option_file)
3. Proxy environment variables (See the Environment Variable section.)
4. Options specified within the
$HOME/.swa.conf
file
5. Options specified within the
/etc/opt/swa/swa.conf
file
6. Default value, specified in the descriptions of each option below in option_name
=default_value format.
Note: If the same option or extended option is given multiple times in the same location, the last option
takes effect. If the option has a single letter equivalent (for example,
-v and -x verbosity) and both
are used on the command line, the single letter option generally takes precedence. If the single letter
option affects an extended option that takes a list of arguments, specifying the single letter option multiple
times will append to the list.
swa step recognizes the following -x (extended) options which are shown with their default values:
-x allow_existing_depot=false
Usage: Advanced
Applicable steps: download depot
Determines whether the target depot must be empty at the start of the command, or can be an exist-
ing depot. SWA does not perform any analysis of the depot contents. By specifying this option, you
accept responsibility for the contents of this depot.
true Target depot can exist (it is non-empty).
false Target depot must be empty at the start of the command.
