Part VI UPS and UPD Command Reference

Chapter 23: UPS Command Reference

This chapter contains full usage information on all the UPS commands. In particular, for each command you will find:

• a statement of the purpose and/or function of the command
• the command syntax
• a listing of commonly used options, without descriptions
• a listing of all valid options, with command-specific descriptions
• (as needed) a section called "Options Valid with -G"
• (as needed) a section called "More Detailed Description" which typically includes:
  • detailed command-specific usage information
  • information on environment variables that affect execution of the command or are affected by it
  • a list of internal functions the command performs (if more extensive than suggested by the command description)
• command examples

Chapter 24: UPD/UPP Command Reference

This chapter contains full usage information on all the UPD commands and the UPP command. In particular, for each command you will find:

• a statement of the purpose and/or function of the command
• the command syntax
• a listing of commonly used options, without descriptions
• a listing of all valid options, with command-specific descriptions
• (as needed) a section called "Options Valid with -G"
• (as needed) a section called "More Detailed Description" which typically includes detailed command-specific usage information
• command examples

For commands that have a corresponding UPS command, you will find:

• a statement of the purpose and/or function of the command
• the command syntax
• a reference to the corresponding UPS command
• a listing of any additional, UPD-specific options
• (as needed) command examples

For the upd addproduct and upd install commands we include a detailed list of the internal processes the command performs. The internal processes for the other commands can largely be inferred from these lists.

Chapter 25: Generic Command Option Descriptions

This chapter provides an alphabetical listing of UPS/UPD options with generic descriptions. More detailed information on a few selected options can be found at the end of the chapter.

In the command reference chapters, 23 and 24, the options supported by each command are listed with command-specific descriptions.

Chapter 26: UPS/UPD Command Usage

This chapter describes the syntax for UPS and UPD commands.

Chapter 27: Product Instance Matching in UPS/UPD Commands

When a UPS or UPD command is issued, the system must determine which product instance(s) to act upon. This determination is called instance matching. This chapter describes the algorithms used for instance matching.
