NAME

stl_inv − setld inventory file format (∗.inv)

DESCRIPTION

Each software subset that is distributed for installation by the setld utility has an associated inventory file (subsetname.inv) created by the kits utility, for example: OATODB100.inv.  The inventory file contains one record for each file in the subset, and each record contains the following twelve fields in order, separated by [TAB] characters:

Flags
The per-file software management option, a 16-bit unsigned integer

SizeThe actual number of bytes in the file

Checksum
The modulo-65536 checksum of the file

Hard links, directories, FIFOs, and sockets have a value of 00000 in this field

uidThe file owner’s user ID

gidThe file owner’s group ID

Mode
The file mode’s six-digit octal representation

Date
The file’s last modification date

Revision
The version code of the product that includes the file

Type
A single letter that describes the file:

bBlock device

cCharacter device

dDirectory containing one or more files

fRegular file: regular files with a link count greater than one. See file type l. 

lHard link: there are other files in the same inventory with the same inum.  The first of these files in ASCII collating sequence is listed in the referent field. 

pNamed pipe (FIFO)

sSymbolic link

=UNIX domain socket

Pathname
The dot-relative (./path) pathname of the file

Link-to
For file types l and s, the path to which the file is linked; for types b and c, an integer representing the major and minor numbers of the device; for all other types, none

Subset name
The name of the subset containing the file

After the subset has been installed on a system, the setld utility places the control file in the /usr/.smdb. directory. 

RESTRICTIONS

Fields must be separated by [TAB] characters.
