The Missing AIX Documentation Project
Welcome to
AIX - All Intricacies eXplained
List of AIX commands lacking documentation:
- mkinstallp (create installable packages)
- imfs (create FS entries in /etc/filesystems)
- getlvodm (get LVM information from LVCB and ODM)
- ldeletepv (delete phantom disks from ODM)
- lqueryvg (lists various VG information)
- realpath (translate path to absolute form)
- dmpdt_chrp (dump OpenFirmware device tree)
- /usr/lib/nls/lstz (list timezone information)
If you want this list to be expanded, send me (or any other moderator) a message or post here. If you want to write documentation for a command: just do so. We will link your thread gladly to the command here so that your work is easily found.

Hi forum,
I have two servers. Both running same version 4.3.3 TL11.
On one of them efix IX85104 is installed but missing on another server.
I have tried to find it and download it but it's just too old.
Is there any way that I could extract/copy this efix from server where it's present... (1 Reply)

Hi everybody!
In general the documentation of AIX is well done and rather complete. Still, there are a few undocumented parts of AIX and some of the undocumented commands offer things you just can't get done the "official" way. We once talked about collecting the information we collectively have... (0 Replies)

coinst
COINST(1) General Commands Manual COINST(1)
NAME
Coinst - computes the co-installability kernel of a package repostory
SYNOPSIS
coinst [options]
DESCRIPTION
coinst reads a package repository in debian format or RPM format from standard input, and computes the co-installability kernel of the
repository (see below). The graph of the kernel is written in dot format to a file, and a diagnostic is written to standard output. This
diagnostic consists by default of:
- the list of equivalence classes of packages
- the list of non-installable packages
- the list of not co-installable pairs of packages
CO-INSTALLABILITY KERNELS
A set of packages is called co-installable with respect to a repository R if it can be extended to a set of packages from R that satisfies
all inter-package relations (dependencies, conflicts, etc.). In particular, a package p is installable if the set {p} consisting of p only
is co-installable.
This tool reduces a repository R to a much smaller one, its so-called co-installability kernel R', that behaves exactly the same as far as
co-installability of package is concerned: Any set of packages P is co-installable with respect to P iff it co-installable with respect to
R'. This is achieved by
- dropping all relations that are not relevant for this purpose. For instance, dependencies that do not lead directly or indirectly to
any conflicts are dropped.
- identifying all packages that behave the same. For instance, packages that are not in conflict with any other package (even not through
dependency chains) behave the same since they are co-installable together with any other co-installable set of packages, and packages
that are not installable at all behave the same since they may never be part of any co-installable set of packages.
A more precise explanation can be found in the original research article underlying this tool.
The interest of computing the kernel is that it is typically orders of magnitude smaller than the original repository.
OPTIONS
Options controlling the input
-deb expect input in the format of a debian Packages file (default).
-rpm expect input in the format of an RPM hdlist.cz file.
-ignore package
ignore the package named package.
Options controlling the graph output
-o file
write the graph to file instead of graph.dot
-all include all packages in the coinstallability graph
-root p
draw only the relevant portion of the graph around package p.
Options controlling the diagnostic output
-explain
explain the list of non-installable pairs of packages.
-stats show statistics regarding the input and output repositories
Miscellaneous options
-help, --help
show command synopsis
EXAMPLE
Reduce a current debian Packages file to its kernel:
coinst -all -o raw.dot < sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages
Layout the graph:
dot raw.dot -o layout.dot:
View the graph with dotty, or the viewer from the coinst_viewer package:
dotty layout.dot
coinst_viewer layout.dot
