Software Distributor Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (5900-2488, September 2012)

software_selections The software objects to be installed. See “Software Selections”
(page 35).
If you do not include this specification, swpackage packages all
the products listed in the PSF.
@ target_ selections The target of the command. See “Target Selections” (page 37).
If you are creating a distribution depot (directory), this operand
defines the location of the directory. Without this operand,
/var/spool/sw is used as the default depot directory.
If you are creating a distribution tape, this operand names the
device file on which to write the tar archive. swpackage must
be able to determine if the media is a DDS tape or a disk file.
Without this operand, swpackage uses the device file, /dev/
swtape.
Changing Command Options
You can change the behavior of this command by specifying additional command-line options
when you invoke the command (using the -xoption) or by reading predefined values from a file.
