Options

The swgettools command supports the following options:

-s source Speciﬁes the path for the source media. Possible locations are: a local directory that

is an SD depot, a character-special tape device ﬁle connected to a tape drive that

has an SD media tape loaded, a CD-ROM mount point that has an SD media CD-

ROM loaded, or a remote machine and depot combination. The default source type

is directory . The syntax is:

[host][:][/directory]

The remote host can be speciﬁed by its host name, domain name, or Internet

address. The absolute path to the remote depot follows, separated by a colon with

no spaces. The colon is required when both a host and directory are speciﬁed. The

directory path must be absolute. For example, to specify a remote machine and

depot combination:

swperf:/var/spool/sw

-t temp_directory_path

Speciﬁes a temporary directory to use during the

swgettools process. An abso-

lute pathname is required. By default

/var/tmp is used. The temporary directory

must exist and must have at least 2 MB of free disk space for swgettools to

succeed. (You can use the bdf temp_directory_path command to determine if the

directory has adequate space.)

RETURN VALUES

The

swgettools command returns:

0 Successful completion

1 Usage incorrect

2 Error during execution
