NAME

stl_image − Software subset image data files

DESCRIPTION

Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8) command has an associated image data file.  This image data file is created by the kits(1) utility.  The image data file’s name consists of the product’s unique 3-letter name with the string .image for a suffix.  The image data file contains one record for each subset in the kit.  Each record contains three fields separated by white space:

Checksum The modulo-65536 checksum of the subset file (after compression, if the file is compressed)

Size The size of the subset file in kilobytes (after compression, if the file is compressed)

Subset name The product code, subset mnemonic, and version number

EXAMPLES

The following example illustrates OAT.image, the image data file for a hypothetical kit:

15923    70 OATDCB100
24305   400 OATDCBDOC100
