newinv(1) General Commands Manual newinv(1)Name
newinv - update distribution kit master inventory
Syntax
/usr/sys/dist/newinv mi-file input-path
Description
The command interactively maintains the master inventory files used for producing distributions in format. The program updates the master
inventory for a product when changes are made to the hierarchy of files which are to be packaged in the subsets which constitute the prod-
uct.
The product hierarchy is scanned to produce a list of component path names relative to input-path. The list of path names is processed
against the mi-file to produce a list of those files which have been removed from the product hierarchy and a list of those files which
have been added.
The user is then given an opportunity to intervene and direct the inventory maintenance by editing these lists. The user is placed in the
editor with each list available for editing. The editor used is the one specified by the EDITOR environment variable. If EDITOR is not
set, is used. When editing the list of files which have been removed from the product, the user is expected to verify that the removals
were intentional, and confirm the intent by removing the associated record from the file. When editing the list of files which have been
added to the product, the user is expected to provide flags and subset information for each new file, transforming the elements of the list
into master inventory records.
Both of these lists are merged with the records for the files which have not been changed to produce a new copy of the master inventory
file.
Arguments
mi-file The pathname of the master inventory file to be processed. If no master inventory file exists, you must create an empty one
before using the command.
input-path The name of the product hierarchy to be scanned for files belonging in the inventory. All files and directories found below
the input-path will be processed as belonging in the inventory.
Restrictions
The default text editor if not specified in $EDITOR is
Files in the product hierarchy cannot be excluded from the master inventory. Files can be blocked from being kitted in the final distribu-
tion kit by setting the subset field of the master inventory record to NOSHIP.
Examples
To update the master inventory file ULT400.mi from the hierarchy beginning at /var/kits/input, type:
newinv ULT400.mi /var/kits/input
Diagnostics
newinv: where is mi-file?
The mi-file specified on the command line cannot be found.
input-path: bad directory.
The input-path directory specified on the command line does not exist.
Files
Backup copy of master inventory
The list of files missing from the product.
The list of files new to the product.
Intermediate join file.
List of all files in the product.
