Software Selections
Software selections let you specify software in great detail. You can also
use an input file to specify software.
Syntax
The
software_selections syntax is identical for all SD-UX commands
that require it:
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:
[] Square brackets—groups an expression
* Asterisk—wildcard for multiple characters
? Question mark—wildcard for a single character
For example, the following expression installs all bundles and
products with tags that end with man:
swinstall -s sw_server \*man
• Bundles and products are recursive. Bundles can contain other
bundles. For example:
swinstall bun1.bun2.prod.sub1.fset,r=1.0
or (using expressions):
swinstall bun[12].bun?.prod.sub*,a=HP-UX
•The \* software specification selects all products.
CAUTION To avoid data loss, use the \* specification with considerable care
(such as when removing software from the root directory, /).
