stl_mi(4)
NAME
  stl_mi - Software distribution master inventory files

DESCRIPTION
  Each software product that is distributed as subsets for the setld(8)
  command has an associated master inventory file. The master inventory
  file's name consists of the product's unique 3-letter name and a 3-digit
  version number with the string .mi for a suffix. The master inventory file
  is used by the software kitting program kits(1) in producing software
  distribution packages.

  A master inventory file contains one ASCII record, describing vendor-
  specified attribute information, for each file in the product kit. Each
  record is composed of three fields which must be separated by TAB
  characters. The fields are:

  Flags
      A 16-bit unsigned integer.

      Bit 1 is the v (volatility) bit; when it is set, changes to the
      existing copy of the file can occur during kit installation. It is
      usually set for log files required by applications. The remaining bits
      are reserved. Possible values for this field are therefore 0 or 2.

  Pathname
      The dot-relative (./) pathname of the file described by this record.
      Each pathname must appear only once in the master inventory file.
      Pathnames must begin with a period (.). Records must be sorted in
      ascending ASCII sequence on this field.

  Subset
      The name of the subset containing the file. Standard system directories
      are not included in subsets; they are represented by the keyword
      RESERVED in place of a subset name. Files that exist in the product
      hierarchy but are not distributed as part of any subset have a minus
      sign (-) in this field. Files that share a gnode (links) must all be
      included in the same subset.

EXAMPLES
  This example shows a section of the master inventory for a hypothetical
  layered product kit:
