Descriptionupdate-ux command options
Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible
locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD containing a depot, or
a remote system-and-depot combination.
All paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths. If
source_location is a remote system and depot combination, specify
the remote system first, followed by the absolute path to the remote
depot, separated by a colon with no spaces. For example: swperf:/
var/spool/sw
-s source_location
Prints the usage statement.
-?
Previews an update task by running the session through the analysis
phase only.
-p
Turns on verbose output to stdout.-v
Reads the list of software selections from selection_file instead of
(or in addition to) the command line. This option enables you to select
and update optional software or to deselect recommended
(defauolt-installed) software.
-f selection_file
Specifies -x options to be applied during the update. For a typical
update, no -x options are required. For information on -x options, refer
to the swm (1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.
-x option=value
Software selections support the same syntax as the swinstall
command plus the syntax described in the selection syntax section
below. The following syntax is supported for sw_spec:
bundle[,version]
product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version] !selection
[bundle]/[%match] pattern-matching-expression
where version can be:
[,r op revision][,a op arch][,v op vendor]
[,c op category] [,q=qualifier][,l=location]
[,fr op revision][,fa op arch]
where op can be:
=, ==, >=, <=, <, >, or !=
The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the
shell wildcard and pattern-matching-expressions:
[ ], *, ?
The syntax !selection causes that selection to be deselected even if
it was listed on the command line as part of other selections.
