• Explicitly specifies a file or directory to be packaged, using
the format:
[-m mode] [-o [owner[,]] [uid]] [-g [group[,]][gid]]
[-v][source] [destination]
• The source and destination can be paths relative to source
and destination directories specified in the
path_mapping_string.

directory specified by a directory keyword.
• Examples: -m 04555 sbin/swinstall or * (to denote
all files and directories)
multi_line_string
Maximum length: 8 kbyte (1Mbyte for a readme file)•
• Each multi-line strings support all isascii characters.
(Refer to the ctype(3) manpage.) It represent one or more
paragraphs of text. It can be specified in-line, surrounded
by double-quotes or read from a files.
File entries must use this syntax:

path_mapping_string
Maximum length: none•
• A value of the form: source[=destination] where
the source defines the directory in which subsequently
defined files are located. The optional destination
maps the source to a destination directory in which the
files will actually be installed.

path_string
Maximum length: 255 bytes for tapes, 1024 bytes for
depots
•
• An absolute or relative path to a file. Many attributes of
this type are restricted to 255 bytes in length. This
restriction is due to the tar(1) command, which requires a
file’s basename(1) be <= 100 bytes, and a file’s
dirname(1) to be <= 155 bytes. (Some implementations
of tar enforce < and not <=.)
• Examples: /usr /mfg/sd/scripts/configure
permission_string
Maximum length: none•
• A value of the form:
