Catalog files are the equivalent IPD files but they are for software stored in a depot.
When a depot is created or modified using swcopy, these files are created and placed
in the specified depot (or in the default /var/spool/sw depot). They describe the
depot and its contents.
The swinstall, swconfig, swcopy, and swremove tasks automatically add to,
change and delete IPD and catalog file information as the commands are executed.
swlist and swverify tasks read the IPD information and use it to affect command
behavior.
The IPD also contains the swlock file, which manages simultaneous read and/or write
access to software objects.
