architecture Describes the target system(s) on which the fileset will run if filesets for
multiple architecture are included in a single product. Provides a
human-readable summary of the four uname(1) attributes which define
the exact target system(s) the product supports. Many filesets do not include
an architecture; only a product architecture need be defined.
ancestor A list of filesets that will match the current fileset when installed on a target
system, if the match_target installation option is specified. Also
designates an ancestor fileset to check for when patch_match_target
is defined.
category_tag A repeatable tag-based attribute identifying a set of categories of which
the software object is a member. This is used as a selection mechanism
and can be used independent of patches. The default value is an empty
list or patch if the is_patch attribute is set to true.Like vendor_tag, this
attribute can be used as a pointer to a category object that contains
additional information about the category (for example, a one-line title
definition and a description of the category).
NOTE: The category tag patch is reserved. When the is_patch file
attribute is set to true, a built-in category_tag attribute of value patch
is automatically included with the file definition.
description Defines the multi-paragraph description of the fileset; the value is either the
text itself (within double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename containing the
text.
is_kernel A value of true defines the fileset as being a contributor to the operating
system kernel; the target system(s) kernel build process will be invoked after
the fileset is installed. If this attribute is not specified, swpackage assumes
a default value of false.
is_locatable Defines whether a fileset can be installed to any product directory, or
whether it must be installed into a specific directory. The attribute can be
set to true or false. If not defined, swpackage sets the default attribute to
false.
is_patch Identifies a software object as a patch. The default value is false. When
set to true, a built-in category_tag attribute of value patch is automatically
included.
dynamic_module A space-separated list of strings specifies the list of dynamically loadable
kernel modules (DLKMs) packaged into the fileset. The dynamic modules
themselves must be delivered to /usr/conf/mod/. If the
dynamic_module attribute is omitted, no DLKMs may be delivered in the
fileset.
When a dynamic module is packaged, it is customary to include a call to
the control_util mod_systemfile in a postinstall script to link the
module to the kernel. If a state of static is specified in the mod_sytemfile
call, the attributes is_kernel and is_rebootmust also be set to true.
In addition, if a system reboot is needed to activate the module, the
is_reboot attribute must be set to true.
is_reboot A value of true declares that the fileset requires a system reboot after
installation. If this attribute is not specified, swpackage assumes a default
value of false.
is_sparse Indicates that a fileset contains only a subset of files in the base (ancestor)
fileset and that the contents are to be merged with the base fileset. The
