sd(5) sd(5)
-S session_file Executes the command based on the options and operands saved from a previous
session in session_file. (You can save session information to a file with the
-C
session_file option.) See the Session File
heading in this manpage for more
information.
-t target_file Read the list of target_selections from target_file instead of (or in addition to) the
command line operands.
-x option=value Set the session option to value and override the default value (or a value in an
alternate option_file specified with the
-X option). Multiple -x options can be
specified.
-X option_file Read the session options and behaviors from option_file. These values defined in
this file override the default values.
Operands
Most SD commands support two types of operands: software selections followed by target selections. These
operands are separated by the "at" (
@) character. This syntax implies that the command operates on "selec-
tions at targets".
Software Selections
The selections operands consist of software_selections for most SD commands. For the
swjob and swreg
commands, the selections can be job_ids and roots_or_depots respectively.
The SD commands support 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:
[], *, ?
For example, the following expression installs all bundles and products with tags that end with
"man":
swinstall -s sw_server *man
• Bundles and subproducts are recursive. Bundles can contain other bundles and subproducts can
contain other subproducts. For example:
swinstall bun1.bun2.prod.sub1.sub2.fset,r=1.0
or (using expressions):
swinstall 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.
• r , a , v , c , and l apply only to bundles and products. They are applied to the leftmost bundle
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.11.00 chooses all revisions greater than or equal to B.11.00. The system
compares each dot-separated field to find matches. Shell patterns are not allowed with these
operators.
