After years of running the Sybase database on Sun's Solaris servers, IT Systems Manager Paul Jackson recognized the need to get the platform "up to speed." When he checked on the cost to replace the proprietary hardware and operating system the company had relied on for so long, it was so expensive that he began looking for another solution.

If scale, idiom, subtype and graphics class are given in one set, the same parameters must all be present in the subsequent set of parmeters. (IE the count must match) A list of flags and their descriptions: -V version information for assetutil -I Produce a JSON description of the asset catalog object with the given name to --output directory if given or to stdout if no output path given. If no name is provided, report on the contents of the entire car file. -i Keep all assets that have idiom that is given on the command line. -s Keep all assets that have scale factor that is given on the command line, present scale factors will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -p Keep all assets that have the display gamut that is given on the command line, present display gamuts will not be removed if there is no fall back avaliable. -M Keep all assets that have memory class that is given on the command line, present memory class will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -g Keep all assets that have graphics class that is given on the command line.
