NAME

stl_ctrl − Software subset control files

DESCRIPTION

Each software subset that is distributed for the setld command has an associated control file.  This control file is created by the kits(1) utility.  The control file’s name consists of the subset name with the string .ctrl for a suffix.  The control file contains attribute information for the subset.  Once the subset has been installed on a system, the control file is placed in the usr/.smdb. directory. 

The attribute definitions in the file are stored one per line as attribute name/value pairs separated by equals signs (=).  The attributes are:

NAME
The name (text description) of the product of which this subset is a component, as given by the NAME attribute defined 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
Two integers separated by a colon (:).  These integers are used by the setld utility to find the subset on tape media.  The first number specifies the volume in the product tape set; the second is the location within that volume.  The values established for this attribute by the kits utility are placeholders.  The actual values are generated as the subset is being written to tape by the gentapes command. 

DEPS
Reserved by Digital.

FLAGS
The value specified by the flags field of this subset’s record in the key file.

EXAMPLES

The following example shows the contents of OATDCB100.ctrl, the control file for a hypothetical subset:

NAME=’Orpheus Authoring Tools OATDCB100’
DESC=’Document Building Tools’
NVOLS=1:2
MTLOC=1:1
DEPS="."
FLAGS=0
