NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       depord - Sort subset names into dependency order

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/lbin/depord  [-c ctrldir  [-c ctrldir]...] [-f [namefile
 | -]] [-I  | -i] [subsetID [subsetID...]]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Searches the directory ctrldir  for  subset  *.ctrl  files
       instead  of the current directory. You can use multiple -c
       options.  Reads the subset names from namefile. If you use
       the  "-"  argument  instead  of  namefile, read the subset
       names from standard input. The namefile and "-"  arguments
       to the -f option are mutually exclusive. If you also specify
 subset names with subsetID operands, they are concatenated
  with the subset names specified with the -f option.
       Includes in the ordered output the names of all  prerequisite
 subsets for the subset name argument list. The -I and
       -i  options  are  mutually  exclusive.   Includes  in  the
       ordered  output  the names of all prerequisite subsets for
       the subset name argument list, and excludes from the  output
  any  prerequisite subsets that are already installed.
       The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The name of a subset for dependency checking and ordering.
       If  you also specify subset names with the -f option, they
       are concatenated with subsetID operands.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The depord command reads the subset *.ctrl  files  in  the
       specified  directories  for  dependency  information, then
       sorts the subset name argument list (and, optionally, prerequisite
  subset  names)  in  dependency order.  If other
       directories are not specified, depord searches for  subset
       *.ctrl files in the current directory.  If you install the
       subsets in the order shown in the  depord  output,  subset
       dependencies  are  satisfied.  If you are not using either
       the -I or -i option and if a subset dependency  cannot  be
       satisfied  by  the  other specified subset names, an error
       message displays and that subset is not  included  in  the
       output.   All subsets in a dependency cycle (where subsets
       are mutually dependent) are ignored. An error message displays,
 and those subsets are not included in the output.

       The depord command is used by the setld(8) utility.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To sort the subsets listed on the command line into dependency
  order:  #  /usr/lbin/depord  OSFCDEDT500  OSFX11500
       OSFCDEMIN500 OSFX11500 OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To  use the -I option to list the prerequisite subsets for
       OSFDCEDT500,   sorted    into    dependency    order:    #
       /usr/lbin/depord  -I OSFCDEDT500 OSFBASE500 OSFX11500 OSFCLINET500
 OSFNFS500 OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To use the -i option to check the prerequisite subsets for
       OSFDCEDT500,  and  exclude  from the output those that are
       already  installed:  #  /usr/lbin/depord  -i   OSFCDEDT500
       OSFCDEDT500

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.
