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(C)
creates a package image in directory structure format
from the components of a package on the development machine.
pkgtrans(C)
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(C)
generates a
prototype(F)
file based on the directory
structure of your development area.
