NAME [Toc] [Back]
sd - all objects that Software Distributor (SD) uses, their attributes
and storage formats
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The SD commands create, install, distribute and manage software
objects (bundles, products, subproducts and filesets). In addition,
they define and manage other objects in support of the software
administration tasks which users perform. This manual page describes
the SD software object classes, their attributes, and the file formats
used to store their definitions.
For an overview of all SD commands, see the sd(5) manual page by
typing: man 5 sd
The objects described here conform to layout_version 1.0 of the IEEE
Standard 1387.2: Software Administration (POSIX). The previous SD
layout_version 0.8 is also supported. For more details, see
swpackage(4) or the layout_version option in sd(5).
OBJECT CLASSES [Toc] [Back]
The SD object classes are:
host A machine at which software is installed, will be
installed, or is being managed. A host contains one or
more roots (installed filesystems) and zero or more
depots.
depot A directory location which contains software products
or bundles that are available for installation. It is a
customizable source of software used for direct
installation. It can also represent a distribution
medium (e.g. tape or CD-ROM) which contains products or
bundles available for installation. Depot corresponds
to the distribution class defined in POSIX.
media Vehicle for software delivery. When a depot is located
on one or more media in layout_version=1.0, the unique
sequence number identifying each medium is in the media
class.
root A set of installed software objects, usually the
operational software installed in the primary root
filesystem, "/". It also represents the set of software
objects installed into an alternate root directory.
Root corresponds to the installed_software class
defined in POSIX.
vendor The vendor who packaged and distributed a product or
bundle. It is an optional component of a product or a
bundle.

category A classification for a product or bundle, such as
"systems_management," "desktop," or "patch."
bundle A bundle is a way of encapsulating products,
subproducts and filesets into a single software object.
More than one bundle can contain the same software
objects. A bundle can be thought of as a particular
"configuration" of software. It is a convenient way to
group software objects together for easy selection.
Bundle is NOT a superset of product.
product A software object which vendors package and distribute,
and which users purchase and install. A product
contains one or more filesets and zero or more
subproducts. A product can also contain zero or more
control_files.
subproduct
A subset or partitioning of a software product. It is
an optional component of a product. and contains one
or more filesets.
fileset A grouping of one or more files contained in a product
or sub-product. It groups a subset of a product's
files into a manageable unit. A fileset can also
contain zero or more control_files.
file The actual files that make up a fileset that get
installed, configured, and removed.
control_files
The scripts developed by vendors to perform product- or
fileset-specific operations during various software
management tasks. Often called control_scripts.
OBJECT ATTRIBUTES [Toc] [Back]
The following tables summarize the valid attributes for each software
object class. A subset of these attributes can be defined for an
object when creating products or bundles with swpackage. See
swpackage(4) for details on this subset.
The attribute value types are defined in the next section, "VALUE
TYPES".
Vendor-Defined Attributes [Toc] [Back]
You can create your own software attributes when packaging software.
Keywords in a product specification file that are not recognized by SD
are preserved, along with their associated values, by being
transferred to the resulting INDEX or INFO files created by
swpackageor swcopy. (Refer to swpackage(4) for more information on
INDEX and INFO files.)
Hewlett-Packard Company - 2 - HP-UX 11i Version 1.6: Jul 2002
sd(4) sd(4)

The keyword is a filename character string. The value associated with
a keyword is processed as an attribute_value. It can be continued
across multiple input lines or can reference a file containing the
value for the keyword.
Vendor-defined attributes are noted during packaging or when modified
with swmodify. These attributes can be listed with swlist.

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 determines the base
to which a patch is applied. (Note that an ancestor
attribute is not the same as a corequisite, exrequisite, or
prerequisite.)
applied_patches
Determines the list of patches that have been applied to a
base fileset. This attribute applies to installed base
(non-patch) software only.
architecture
Describes the target system(s) on which the fileset will run
if filesets for multiple architectures 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 fileset supports. Most filesets do not include
an architecture; only a product architecture need be
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. The category tag patch
is reserved.
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).
control_directory
The relative pathname to the fileset catalog directory in
the product catalog that contains the control_scripts for
the fileset.
corequisites
A list of dependencies on software that must be installed
before this software is run.
data_model_revision
The format revision used to store the fileset definition.

description
The multi-paragraph description of the fileset.
exrequisites
A list of dependencies on software that may not be installed
when this software is installed.
install_date
The date the fileset was installed.
install_source
The source from which the product was installed.
instance_id
The secondary identifier for filesets which have the same
tag (or truncated tag) value.
is_kernel
Defines whether or not the fileset contains kernel files.
is_locatable
Defines whether or not the fileset can be installed into an
arbitrary directory.
is_packaged_in_place
For a fileset within a depot, this attribute defines whether
or not the fileset is packaged in place. If true, then the
fileset's contents are actually references to the original
source files used to construct the fileset.
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.
is_reboot
Defines whether or not the fileset requires a reboot after
install.
is_secure
Defines whether or not the fileset is encrypted on a CD-ROM
media, requiring a codeword to install.
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 default value is false.
If the is_patch attribute is true, is_sparse is also set to
true for the fileset, although it can be forced to false.

location
The installed pathname of the fileset, derived from the
product location.
machine_type
Defines the machine(s) on which the product will run if a
fileset architecture has been defined. (If not specified,
swpackage assigns a value of "*", meaning the fileset runs
on all machines.) If there are multiple machine platforms,
use wildcards or the '|' character to identify them. This
attribute should pattern match the output of the model
command on the supported target machine(s).
media_sequence_number
For a multiple tape distribution, defines the tape on which
the fileset is archived.
mod_date
The string format of the mod_time.
mod_time
The time of the last operation performed on the fileset.
os_name
Defines the operating system(s) on which the product will
run if a fileset architecture has been defined. (If not
specified, swpackage assigns a value of "*", meaning the
fileset runs on all operating systems.) If there are
multiple operating systems, use wildcards or the '|'
character to identify them. This attribute should pattern
match to the value of uname -s on the supported target
system(s).
os_release
Defines the operating system release(s) on which the product
will run if a fileset architecture has been defined. (If
not specified, swpackage assigns a value of "*", meaning the
fileset runs on all releases.) If there are multiple
operating system releases, use wildcards or the '|'
character to identify them. This attribute should pattern
match to the value of uname -r
