Packaging your software applications

12. Creating a package with pkgtrans

pkgtrans(C) performs the following package translations:

a fixed directory structure to a datastream
a datastream to a fixed directory structure

To perform one of these translations, execute:

   pkgtrans -s device1 device2 [pkg1[,pkg2[ . . . ]]]

where -s is the option to translate to datastream, device1 is the name of the device or directory where the package currently resides, device2 is the name of the device onto which the translated package will be placed, and [pkg1[pkg2 . . . ]] is one or more package names. If no package names are given, a menu of all packages residing in device1 is displayed and the user asked for a selection.
