dependency A relationship between filesets in which one requires another in a specific manner. For example, before fileset A can be installed, it may require fileset B to be installed. SD-UX supports corequisite and prerequisite dependencies.

dependent A fileset that has a dependency on another fileset. For example, if fileset A depends on fileset B, then B is a dependent or has a dependency on A.

depot A repository of software products and

acatalog, organized so SD-UX commands can use it as a software source. The contents of a depot reside in a directory structure with a single, common root. A depot can exist as a directory tree on a SD-UX file system, on a CD-ROM, or as a tar archive on a tape. All depots share a single logical format, independent of the type of media on which the depot resides. Depots can reside on a local or remote system. You can package software directly into a depot or copy packaged software into the depot from elsewhere.

description An attribute for products and filesets, usually a paragraph description of that product or fileset.

destination The path at which a file will be installed.

destination filesystem The filesystem structure that will be created on the target system when the software product is installed.

directory An optional keyword that ends the software element specification in a PSF. No value is required.

end An optional keyword that ends the software element specification in a PSF. No value is required.

F-L

fileset A collection of related files. A fileset serves as a container for files, associated file attributes, and separate control scripts. Most SD-UX operations are performed on filesets.

graphical user interface (GUI) A program interface that takes advantage of the computer's graphics capabilities to make the program easier to use.

is_locatable In packaging, an attribute that defines whether a product can be installed to an alternate product directory or not. If specified, the attribute is set to a value of true. If not specified, the attribute is assigned a value of false.

M-O

machine_type In packaging, an attribute that describes the type of systems on which the product will run. (If not specified, the keyword is assigned a wildcard value (*) meaning it will run on all machines. If there are multiple machine platforms, you must separate each machine designation with a vertical bar ( ). (e.g., IA64)

media Physical data storage media on which software is stored, such as tape, CD-ROM, or DVD.

multiple architecture multiple architecture - A single product that contains different versions of the same fileset which differ by their architecture attribute.
