Name
stl_ctrl - software subset control files
Description
Each software subset that is distributed on media used with the command has an associated control file. This control file is created by
the utility. It contains the attribute information for the subset. Once the subset has been installed on a system, the control file is
placed in the directory. The control file for each subset has a name formed by appending the extension to the end of the subset name.
The attribute definitions in the file are stored as attribute name and value pairs separated by an equal sign (=). The attributes are:
NAME
The name of the product of which this subset is a member. This attribute has the same value as the NAME attribute defined for the
product in the product attributes section of the key file.
DESC
The text description of the subset as given in the subset descriptor for this subset in the key file.
NVOLS
Obsolete.
MTLOC
A pair of integers separated by a colon (:). These integers are used by the utility to find the subset on tape media. The first
number is the volume in the product tape set; the second is the location within the volume. The values established for this
attribute by the utility are place holders. The values are later updated as the subset is being written to tape by the command.
DEPS
The dependency list for this subset. The information for this list is taken from the subset descriptor in the key file.
FLAGS
The flags value from the key file.
Examples
Here are the contents of the control file for the subset:
NAME='ULTRIX/UWS T4.0 (RISC)'
DESC='Base System'
NVOLS=1:112
MTLOC=1:1
DEPS="."
FLAGS=1
