Packaging your software applications

prototype

This required package information file, prototype(F), contains a list of the package contents. The pkgmk(C) command uses this file to identify the contents of a package and its location on the development machine when building the package.

You can create this file in two ways. As with all the package information files, you can use an editor to create a file named prototype. It should contain entries following the description given below. You can also use the pkgproto(C) command to generate the file automatically. To use the second method, you must have a copy of your package on your development machine that is structured exactly as you want it structured on the installation machine and all modes and permissions must be correct. If you are not going to use pkgproto, you do not need a structured copy of your package.

The two types of entries in the prototype file are description lines and command lines.
