Command line options Optional
parameters for a command entered with the
command itself at the HP-UX command line
prompt. See also default options.
Command Line User Interface
(CLI/CLUI) Text-formatted commands and
options entered at an HP-UX command line
prompt or executed by a script. SD-UX also
has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a
Terminal User Interface (TUI) for the sd,
swinstall, swcopy, swlist, and swremove
commands.
Committed The state in which a patch is
applied and rollback files have been deleted.
Other patch states include applied and
superseded and committed/superseded.
Committed/superseded A patch state in
which the patch is both committed and
superseded.
Compatibility Filtering The ability of
swinstall to filter the software available from
a source according to the host’s uname
attributes. Software products are created to
run on specific computer hardware and
operating systems. Many versions of the
same products may exist, each of which runs
on a different combination of computer
hardware and operating system. By default,
swinstall does not allow selection and
installation of incompatible software.
Compatible Software A software product
that will operate on a given hardware
system. Software that passes compatibility
filtering for a local host. Also see
Incompatible Software.
Configure Script An optional script
associated with a fileset and automatically
executed by swinstall (or manually executed
by swconfig) after the installation of filesets
is complete.
Container ACL Template A special ACL
(global_soc_template) that is used to
create initial ACLs for depot and roots. See
also product ACL template.
Contents A keyword used to assign filesets
to subproducts. This allows a fileset to be
contained in multiple subproducts.
Controller The SD-UX programs or
commands (swinstall, swcopy, etc.) that are
invoked by the user on the local host and
that direct the actions of an SD-UX agent.
Control Script Optional scripts packaged
with software or added to software by
modifying the IPD. Control scripts are run
during swconfig, swinstall, swremove, or
swverify operations. Control scripts may
include: configure or unconfigure for
swconfig; checkinstall, preinstall, postinstall
and configure scripts for swinstall; the
checkremove, unconfigure, preremove, and
postremove scripts for swremove; and the fix
or verify script for swverify.
Copyright A keyword that defines the
copyright attribute for the destination depot
(media) being created/modified by
swpackage. It refers to the copyright
information for the software product.
Corequisite A dependency in which a fileset
requires that another fileset be installed or
configured at the same time. For example, if
fileset A requires that fileset B is installed at
the same time, fileset B is a corequisite.
