stl_key(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual stl_key(4) NAME stl_key - setld kit manufacturing key files DESCRIPTION Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated key file. The key file's name consists of the product's unique 3-letter name and a 3-digit version number with the string .k for a suffix. The key file is used by the software kit- ting program kits(1) in producing software distribution packages. A key file has a global data section and a subset descriptor section. The sections are separated by a line containing only two percent signs (%%). The global section specifies the product-level attributes of the prod- uct. In this section, lines that begin with number signs (#) are com- ments and are ignored by the kits utility. Attributes are specified as name/value pairs separated by equals signs (=). There must be no white space surrounding the equals sign. There are four mandatory attributes and two optional attributes. Attributes must have non-null values. The attributes are: NAME Mandatory. Specifies the name of the product. The value for NAME is a text string of up to 40 characters. If the string contains blank spaces, it must be enclosed in apostrophes (''). CODE Mandatory. Specifies the 3-character product code for the product, for example, OAT. VERS Mandatory. Specifies the 3-digit version code for the prod- uct, for example, 100. MI Mandatory. Specifies the pathname of the master inventory file for the product. ROOT Optional. A single-digit integer that is set to 1 if the product is the base operating system. In all other cases, this flag must be a zero (0). If missing, this attribute de- faults to zero. COMPRESS Optional. A single-digit integer that is set to 1 to create compressed subset files using the compress(1) utility, thereby saving space on the distribution media. To suppress compression, this attribute is a zero (0). If missing, this attribute defaults to zero. The subset descriptor section contains one subset descriptor line for each subset in the product. Comments are not permitted in this sec- tion. A subset descriptor contains subset-specific attributes in four fields separated by TAB characters. These fields are: Subset name A character string up to 15 characters in length, com- posed of the 3-letter product code (for example, OAT), a mnemonic identifying the subset (for example, DCB), and the 3-digit version code (for example, 100). All letters in the subset name must be uppercase. Reserved This field must be a single period. Flags A 16-bit unsigned integer Bit 0 is the ``sticky bit,'' indicating when set that the subset cannot be removed. Bit 1 indicates when set that the subset is optional. Bits 2 to 7 are reserved. Bits 8 to 15 are undefined. Description A short description of the subset, delimited by single quotation marks (''); for example, 'Document Build- ing Tools' The subset descriptors must be listed in the order in which the subsets are to be installed by setld. RESTRICTIONS Comments in the subset descriptor section will cause serious problems when encountered by the kits program. TAB formatting in the subset descriptors is tightly enforced by the kits program. EXAMPLES The following example illustrates the key file for a hypothetical prod- uct kit: # Key file for the Orpheus Document Building Tools kit # # Product-level attributes. # NAME='Orpheus Authoring Tools' CODE=OAT VERS=100 MI=OAT00.mi ROOT=0 COMPRESS=1 # # Subset defin- itions follow. # %% OATDCB100 . 0 'Document Building Tools' OATDCBDOC100 . 2 'Document Tools Documentation' RELATED INFORMATION Commands: kits(1), setld(8) Files: stl_comp(4), stl_ctrl(4), stl_image(4), stl_mi(4) Documents: Guide to Preparing Product Kits delim off stl_key(4)
