stl_mi(4)


NAME

  stl_mi - Software distribution master inventory files (*.mi)


DESCRIPTION

  Each software product that is distributed for installation by the setld
  utility has an associated master inventory file. The master inventory
  file's name consists of the unique three-letter product code and a three-
  digit version number with the suffix .mi, for example: OAT100.mi. The
  master inventory file is used by the kits utility to produce software
  distribution packages.

  A master inventory file contains one ASCII record for each file in the
  product kit, describing vendor-specified attribute information. Each record
  is composed of the following three fields, separated by [TAB] characters:

  Flags
      A 16-bit unsigned integer.

      Bit 1 is the v (volatility) bit; when it is set, changes to the
      existing copy of the file can occur during kit installation.  It is
      usually set for log files required by applications. The remaining bits
      are reserved. Possible values for this field are therefore 0 or 2.

  Pathname
      The dot-relative (./) pathname of the file described by this record.
      Each pathname must appear only once in the master inventory file.
      Pathnames must begin with a period (.). Records must be sorted in
      ascending ASCII sequence on this field.

  Subset
      The name of the subset containing the file.  Standard system
      directories are not included in subsets; they are represented by the
      keyword RESERVED in place of a subset name. Files that exist in the
      product hierarchy but are not distributed as part of any subset have a
      minus sign (-) in this field. Files that share a gnode (links) must all
      be included in the same subset.


EXAMPLES

  This example shows a section of the master inventory for a hypothetical
  layered product kit:
