environment without consuming the extra disk space required to create a distribution depot.

set to true, this option removes the saved files for the patches specified in the software selections
for the command. Once you have run this option on a patch, you cannot remove the patch
unless you remove the associated base software that the patch modified.
Applies only to swmodify.
