Component identifiers
The CDMT uses the following codes to identify elements
of components:
vendorCode-
A unique, trademarked string that identifies the vendor of the product;
for example, The SCO Group.
componentCode-
A string that identifies the component, unique within
the vendor's namespace; for example, WServer.
versionCode-
The version number of the component; for example, 3.2.5.
packageCode-
A string that identifies the package within the component;
for example, KSH.
componentID-
A string that identifies the vendor, component, and version,
in the format
vendorCode:componentCode::version;
for example, SCO:WServer::1.0.0.
packageName-
A string that identifies the vendor, component, and package,
in the format
vendorCode:componentCode:packageCode;
for example, SCO:unixos:KSH.
packageID-
A string that identifies the vendor, component, package, and version,
in the format
vendorCode:componentCode:packageCode::Version;
for example, SCO:unixos:KSH::3.2.5.
NOTE:
Because vendorCode, componentCode,
and version are elements of the path to
the root of the component's SSO,
shorter names will result in better symbolic link performance.
