stl_key − setld kit manufacturing key file

Description

The manufacturing key files are used by the software kitting program kits in producing software distribution packages in setld format.

A key file has a global data section and a subset descriptor section. The sections are separated by a line that is empty except for the %% character sequence. 

The global section contains the product level attributes of the product. Comments are permitted in this section. They begin with the number sign (#) character and end at the next newline character.  Attributes are specified by giving the attribute key, an equal sign (=), and a value for the attribute.  There must be no white space surrounding the equals sign (=). There are five attributes that must be present with non-null values. These are NAME, CODE, VERS, MI, and ROOT.  An explanation of each of the attributes follows:

NAME The name of the product. The value for NAME is a string of up to 40 characters. 

CODE The 3-character product code for the product, for example, ULT. 

VERS The 3-digit version code for the product, for example, 040. 

MI The pathname of the master inventory file for the product. 

ROOT A flag with values of 0 or 1. It is used to determine if a ROOT image checksum should be computed for the product image file. There is no ROOT image in any product other than ULTRIX. Set it to 0. 

RXMAKE A flag with values of 0 or 1. Setting it to 0 suppresses the manufacture of subset images for distribution on RX50 diskettes. Omitting this attribute from the key file will cause the kits program to assume a default value of 1. Digital recommends setting it to 0.

COMPRESS
A flag with values of 0 or 1. Setting it to 1 causes the subset images to be compressed using the compress utility, thereby saving space on the distribution media. Setting it to 0 suppresses compression. Omitting this attribute from the key file will cause the kits program to assign a default value of 0.

The subset descriptor section contains one subset descriptor for each subset in the product. There is one subset descriptor per line in this section and comments are not permitted. 

A subset descriptor contains subset-specific attributes in four fields separated by TAB (CTRL/I) characters. A description of each field follows:

SUBSET This field contains the name of the subset being described by the descriptor. The subset name is composed of the product code, name and version code. 

DEPENDENCIES
A list of subsets on which the described subset depends. If there are no such subsets, the period character (.) is used. Multiple subset dependencies are separated by a vertical bar character (|).

FLAGS A subset flags value. This is an integer. Bit 0 is used to mark the subset as irremovable. If bit 0 is set, setld can never delete the subset. Bit 1 is used to mark the subset as optional, otherwise it is mandatory and must be installed from the media when encountered by setld.

DESCRIPTION
This is a description of the subset in 40 or fewer characters. It is used in the menu that setld presents to a user installing the software. If spaces are desired in this field, the field must be enclosed in single quotes.

The subset descriptors must be listed in the order in which the subsets are installed by setld.

Restrictions

The required attributes and default values are not optimal. 

Comments in the subset descriptor section will cause serious problems when encountered by the kits program.

TAB formatting in the subset descriptors is tightly enforced by the kits program.
