Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

-R Shorthand for -l bundle -l product -l
subproduct -l fileset
-a attribute
Displays a specific attribute. To display multiple
attributes, specify multiple -aoptions. To list the full set
of attributes for a software object, use the -v option. Note
that the tag attribute is always displayed for products,
subproducts, and filesets. The path (filename) attribute
is always displayed for file objects. This option does not
apply if you use the -c option.
-v List all attributes for an object if no -a option is specified.
(Vendor-defined attributes are not included.) The output
lists one attribute per line in the format:
attribute_name attribute_value
-c catalog
Writes full catalog structure information into the
directory specified by catalog. You can use this
information for distributions and to list installed software
catalog information. All attributes down to the file level
and control scripts are written. If you use this option,
the -a and -l options do not apply. See “Requesting
User Responses (swask)” (page 291).
-C session_file
Run the command and save the current option and
operand values to a session_file for re-use in another
session. See “Session Files” (page 51).
-f software_file
Read a list of software selections from a separate file
instead of (or in addition to) the command line. See
“Software Files” (page 49).
-l level
List all software objects down to the specified level:
depot, bundle, product, subproduct, fileset or
file. (See the section “Listing Software by Levels”
(page 90) for more information on levels.) You can use
only one level designation per command. You cannot
use software names, subproduct names, etc. to specify
levels. This option does not apply if you use the -c
option.
