-t target_file Read the list of target_selections from target_file instead of (or in addition to) the
command line.
-x option=value
Set the session option to value and override the default value (or a value in an
alternate option_file specified with the
-X option). Multiple -x options can be
specified.
-X option_file Read the session options and behaviors from option_file.
Operands
The
swinstall and swcopy commands support two types of operands: software selections followed by
target selections . These operands are separated by the "at" (
@) character. This syntax implies that the
command operates on "software selections at targets".
Software Selections
The selections operands consist of software_selections.
swinstall and swcopy support the following syntax for each software_selection:
bundle
[.product[.subproduct
][.fileset]][,version]
product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version]
• You can specify selections with the following shell wildcard and pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?
For example, the following expression installs all bundles and products with tags that end with
"man":
swinstall -s sw_server *man
• Bundles and subproducts are recursive. Bundles can contain other bundles and subproducts can
contain other subproducts . For example:
swinstall bun1.bun2.prod.sub1.sub2.fset,r=1.0
or (using expressions):
swinstall bun[12].bun?.prod.sub*,a=HP-UX
• The \* software specification selects all products. Use this specification with caution.
The
version component has the form:
[,r <op> revision][,a <op> arch][,v <op> vendor]
[,c <op> category][,q=qualifier][,l=location]
[,fr <op> revision][,fa <op> arch]
• location applies only to installed software and refers to software installed to a location other
than the default product directory.
•
fr and fa apply only to filesets.
•
r, a, v, c, and l apply only to bundles and products. They are applied to the leftmost bundle or
product in a software specification.
• The <op> (relational operator) component can be of the form:
=, ==, >=, <=, <, >,or!=
which performs individual comparisons on dot-separated fields.
For example,
r>=B.10.00 chooses all revisions greater than or equal to B.10.00. The sys-
tem compares each dot-separated field to find matches.
• The
= (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the shell wildcard and
pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?, !
For example, the expression r=1[01].* returns any revision in version 10 or version 11.
• All version components are repeatable within a single specification (for example,
r>=A.12,
r<A.20). If multiple components are used, the selection must match all components.
