Package files contain information that specifies and describes
which target files users want to be kept current with source files.
- Package files syntax:
-
PKGF Description text
MBRF PROG1.EXE
MBRF INFO.TXT
MBRF SUBDIR\SHEET.XLS
DLTF PROG2.EXE
Note: Text must start in the first row and column
of the file. Each package file must begin with the PKGF keyword.
- Package files format:
- Package files consist of the following elements:
- PKGF description (optional):
- This identifier indicates that the file is a package file. If this tag
is not found in the first four characters of the file, Directory Update will
not process the file while searching for files to update. A description is
optional.
- MBRF filename:
- This identifies a file as part of the package to be updated. A path name
also can be specified; this indicates that the file is in a subdirectory of
the source directory.
The path should not contain the drive letter, or
begin with a back-slash character (\). When you begin the update function,
you specify a target directory; the path that is specified in the package
file is considered a subdirectory of this target directory.
- DLTF filename:
- This identifies a file to be deleted from the target directory. A path
name also can be specified; this indicates that the file is in a subdirectory
of the target directory. As with the MBRF identifier, you should not specify
a drive letter or begin with a back-slash character (\).
