The equivalent IPD files for a depot are called catalog files. When a depot is created or modified
using swcopy, catalog files are built (by default in /var/spool/sw/catalog) that describe the
depot and its contents.
The IPD also contains a swlock file that manages simultaneous read and/or write access to
software objects, and ACLs.
