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 OAT100.mi. The master inven‐
tory 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: 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. 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. The name of the subset containing the file. Standard
system directories are not included in subsets; they are repre‐
sented 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 sub‐
set.
EXAMPLES
This example shows a section of the master inventory for a hypothetical
layered product kit:
