A parameter file consists of an identification line, one or more statement lines, and (optional) comment lines.
Comments
Comments and comment lines are optional. They must always begin with the hash character “#”.
Identification line
The first line in a parameter file that is not a comment line must be the identification line, which selects one of the branches of installation:
| [FirstInstallation] | Create the POSIX subsystem |
| oder | |
| [ExpandFileSystem] | Expand POSIX file system |
| oder | |
| [FileSystemAdministration] | Administrate the POSIX file system |
| oder | |
| [PackageInstallation] | Install POSIX program packages |
| oder | |
[DeletePackage] | Delete POSIX program packages |
You must always specify the square brackets. You can abbreviate the character strings between the brackets, provided there is no risk of confusion with another string. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters as desired.
Statement lines
The identification line is followed by one or more statement lines which contain the necessary parameters for the selected branch. The semicolon delimiter “;” must be specified even if you do not specify a value for a parameter.
