Customer has asked for something that lists, explains and gives usage for the elements that can be found in a manifest. I've pointed them to the DTD but the request is for something more readable and reader-friendly. I would agree that the DTD is inadequate description, for example, in the DTD there is this:
type A category for this property group. Groups of type "framework", "implementation" or "template" are primarily of interest to the service management facility, while groups of type "application" are expected to be only of interest to the service to which this group is attached. And I see this a lot <property_group name='general' type='framework'> <property_group name='startd' type='framework'> <property_group name='ttymon' type='application'> ... but I'm really murky on what they are, what they do, their syntax, what else I can commonly find in SMF ... Is such a doc (something like Tabriz's On-Disk Format Spec) possible? CT
