The package creation tools
The packaging tools are provided to automate package creation and to remove the
burden of packaging from the developer.
The three packaging tools are:
-
pkgmk(1)
creates a package image in directory structure format
from the components of a package on the development machine.
-
pkgtrans(1)
translates an installable package from one package
format to another.
The two format types are directory structure and datastream.
For example, after having used
pkgmk
to create a package in directory structure format, you
might use
pkgtrans
to translate it into datastream format.
-
pkgproto(1)
generates a
prototype(4)
file based on the directory
structure of your development area.
