stl_mi(5) File Formats Manual stl_mi(5)Name
stl_mi - software distribution master inventory file format
Description
The master inventory (mi) files are used by the subset kitting program when manufacturing subsets for installation with the utility.
A master inventory file contains one record for each file in a product containing vendor-specified attribute information about each file in
the kit.
The master inventory contains ASCII data, one record per line. Each record is composed of three fields, which must be separated by TAB
characters.
Here is a description of each of the fields:
FLAGS This is an integer flags value. The two lowest bits of this flag are defined. All other bits are reserved for use by Digital.
Bit 0 of this flag is the precedence bit. Setting the precedence bit for a file indicates to that a new copy of this file is not
as important to the target system as a copy that is already there. This is used by when determining which files to restore to the
system after updating a subset. Files containing configuration information that can be modified after being installed are often
marked with this flag.
Bit 1 of this flag is defined as the volatility bit. It is used to indicate that the file will change after being installed to
the target system and that the changes do not indicate that the contents of the file have been corrupted. When an application
requires a log file, it is often installed as a zero length file on the target system. Such log files are normally marked in the
master inventory with bit 1.
PATHNAME This is the name of the file for which the record exists. The pathname in this field must begin with a leading period (.). All
records in the file must be sorted in ascending order on this field. There cannot be two records in a master inventory that rep-
resent the same file. The program enforces these requirements.
SUBSET The name of the subset to which the file belongs. A file can be distributed as part of one subset only. Files that share a gnode
(links) must be in the same subset. Files that are in the product hierarchy but are not distributed as part of any subset should
have a dash (-) in this field.
