NAME

depord − Sort subset names into dependency order

SYNOPSIS

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

OPTIONS

−c ctrldir
Searches the directory ctrldir for subset ∗.ctrl files instead of the current directory. You can use multiple −c options. 

−f [namefile|−]
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. 

−IIncludes in the ordered output the names of all prerequisite subsets for the subset name argument list. The −I and −i options are mutually exclusive. 

−iIncludes 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

subsetID
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

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

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

The −I and −i options are mutually exclusive.
