Changing Options and Defaults |
|
In addition to the command-line options listed above, several
command behaviors and policy options can be changed by editing default
values found in the defaults file /var/adm/sw/defaults
or $HOME/.sw/defaults.
Values in this file are specified using the command.option=value syntax.
See “Advanced Topics for swremove ” for more information
on changing the values in these defaults and extended options.
