PSF Value Types
With the exception of vendor-defined attributes (see “Vendor-Defined
Attributes” on page 321), the values for each attribute keyword in your
PSF must match one of the specific types discussed below.
NOTE PSF syntax conforms to the layout_version=1.0 of the POSIX 1387.2
Software Administration standard. Previous versions of SD-UX
supported the POSIX layout_version=0.8 syntax, which continues to
be supported. See “Selecting the PSF Layout Version” on page 315 for
more information.
