s
swverify(1M) swverify(1M)
2 for swpackage and swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
The -v option overrides this default if it is set to 0.
Session File
Each invocation of the swverify command defines a verify session. The invocation options, source infor-
mation, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task actually com-
mences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before proper completion.
Each session is saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swverify.last
. This file is overwritten by
each invocation of
swverify.
You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swverify with the -C session__file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. You can specify an absolute path for the session
file. If you do not specify a directory, the default location for a session file is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S session__file option of
swverify.
Note that when you re-execute a session file, the values in the session file take precedence over values in
the system defaults file. Likewise, any command line options or parameters that you specify when you
invoke swverify take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
SD programs that execute control scripts set environment variables for use by the control scripts.
The environment variables that affect the swverify command are:
LANG Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If LANG is not specified or is
set to the empty string, a default value of C is used. See the lang(5) man page by typ-
ing
man 5 sd for more information.
NOTE: The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed is
set by the system configuration variable script, /etc/rc.config.d/LANG
.For
example,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
, must be set to LANG=ja_JP.SJIS or
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
LC_ALL Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified by
the settings of
LANG or any environment variables beginning with LC_.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for exam-
ple, single versus multibyte characters in values for vendor-defined attributes).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the language in which messages should be written.
LC_TIME Determines the format of dates (create_date and mod_date) when displayed by swlist.
Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in
stdout, stderr, and log-
ging
.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Environment variables that affect scripts:
SW_CATALOG
Holds the path to the Installed Products Database (IPD), relative to the path in the
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY environment variable. Note that you can specify a path for
the IPD using the installed_software_catalog default option.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog
directory, or a directory within in the Installed Products Database (IPD). This variable
tells scripts where other control scripts for the software are located (for example, sub-
scripts).
SW_CONTROL_TAG
Holds the tag name of the control_file being executed. When packaging software, you
can define a physical name and path for a control file in a depot. This lets you define the
