piflib - Generate a PIF Library File

The piflib command generates a PIF library file with the fixed name library.dct in the current working directory. This library file references all PIF products stored under the current working directory, and is used by the Installer to detect PIF products that contain common shared components. The piflib command follows symbolic links when generating the library file (dictionary).

This command has the following format:

piflib [­o] [ -d directory ] [-P]
-o

Specifies overwrite. If an item with the same name already exists in the destination directory, it is overwritten.

-d directory

Optionally specifies the name of a folder where the library.dct file is stored.

-P scan PKG packages

Scans for PKG packages on non-PKG platforms (like Linux). By default, PKG packages are scanned only on PKG platforms (like Solaris, UnixWare, or IRIX).

Exit status:

Displays the status of the command execution. The value zero (0) means OK, any non-zero value indicates Error.
