Using IFHW
IFHW is used from a script file, in conjunction with other utilities, to control the deployment. The
IFHW utility enables you to make intelligent queries against the hardware discovery file. Queries
take the form of a logical expression, and the result of the expression is returned as the return code
of the tool, which the hosting script can use to conditionally perform actions.
