NAME
     cdtoc - CD-ROM table of contents file

DESCRIPTION
     The table of contents file, .cdtoc, is an  ASCII  file  that
     describes the contents of a CD-ROM or other software distri-
     bution media. It resides in the top-level directory  of  the
     file  system  on  a  slice of a CD-ROM. It is independent of
     file system format, that is, the file system  on  the  slice
     can be either UFS or HSFS.

     Each entry in the .cdtoc file is a line that establishes the
     value of a parameter in the following form:

          PARAM=value


     Blank lines and comments (lines preceded  by  a  pound-sign,
     ``#'')  are also allowed in the file. Parameters are grouped
     by product, with the beginning of a  product  defined  by  a
     line of the form:

          PRODNAME=value


     Each product is expected to consist of one or more  software
     packages  that  are stored together in a subdirectory on the
     distribution media. There can  be  any  number  of  products
     described  within  the  file.  There is no required order in
     which the parameters must  be  specified,  except  that  the
     parameters  must  be  grouped  by  product  and the PRODNAME
     parameter must appear first in the list  of  parameters  for
     each  product  specified. Each parameter is described below.
     All of the parameters are required for each product.

     PRODNAME                The full name of the  product.  This
                             must  be  unique  within  the .cdtoc
                             file and is preferably unique across
                             all  possible  products.  This value
                             may contain white space. The  length
                             of  this  value  is  limited  to 256
                             ASCII characters; other restrictions
                             may apply (see below).



     PRODVERS                The  version  of  the  product.  The
                             value can contain any combination of
                             letters, numbers, or  other  charac-
                             ters.  This  value may contain white
                             space.  The length of this value  is
                             limited  to  256  ASCII  characters;

                             other restrictions  may  apply  (see
                             below).



     PRODDIR                 The name of the top-level  directory
                             containing  the  product.  This name
                             should be relative to the  top-level
                             directory of the distribution media,
                             for  example,   Solaris_2.6/Product.
                             The number of path components in the
                             name is limited only by the system's
                             maximum  path  name length, which is
                             1024 ASCII  characters.  Any  single
                             component  is  limited  to 256 ASCII
                             characters. This value  cannot  con-
                             tain white space.



     The lengths of the  values  of  PRODNAME  and  PRODVERS  are
     further  constrained  by  the  fact that the initial install
     programs concatenate these values to produce the  full  pro-
     duct name. For unbundled products the combined length of the
     values of PRODNAME and PRODVERS must not  exceed  256  ASCII
     characters.

     When you install OS services  with  Solstice  Host  Manager,
     directories for diskless clients are created by constructing
     names derived from a concatenation of the  values  of  PROD-
     NAME,   PRODVERS,  and  client  architecture,  for  example,
     /export/exec/Solaris_2.x_sparc.all/usr/platform. The  length
     of  the  component  containing  the product name and version
     must not exceed 256 ASCII  characters.  Thus,  for  products
     corresponding  to  bundled OS releases (for example, Solaris
     2.4), the values of PRODNAME and  PRODVERS  are  effectively
     restricted to lengths much less than 256.

     The initial install programs use the value  of  the  PRODDIR
     macro  in  the .cdtoc file to indicate where packages can be
     found.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Sample of .cdtoc file.

     Here is a sample .cdtoc file:


             #
             # .cdtoc file -- Online product family CD
             #
             PRODNAME=Online DiskSuite

File Formats                                             cdtoc(4)



             PRODVERS=2.0
             PRODDIR=Online_DiskSuite_2.0
             #
             PRODNAME=Online Backup
             PRODVERS=2.0
             PRODDIR=Online_Backup_2.0


     This example corresponds to the following  directory  layout
     on a CD-ROM partition:

             /.cdtoc
             /Online_DiskSuite_2.0
                   ./SUNWmddr.c
                   ./SUNWmddr.m
                   ./SUNWmddu
             /Online_Backup_2.0
                   ./SUNWhsm


     The bundled release of Solaris 2.6  includes  the  following
     .cdtoc file:

             PRODNAME=Solaris
             PRODVERS=2.6
             PRODDIR=Solaris_2.6/Product


     This file corresponds to the following directory  layout  on
     slice 0 of the Solaris 2.6 product CD:

             /.cdtoc
             /Solaris_2.6/Product
                  ./SUNWaccr
                  ./SUNWaccu
                  ./SUNWadmap
                  .
                  .
                  .
                  ./SUNWutool
