Is there an equivalent of "installf" for IPS to add a file to the

What file is this - or rather, where is it in the filesystem?
It's a file that is generated at runtime by a layered product, and it
will be added into /var/opt/PRODNAMESPACE/.
So, we could live with adding the file into the package database, or
with marking /var/opt/PRODNAMESPACE as exclusive so that when the
directory was removed all contents would be removed as well.
The first is by far the simplest if that works for you; just add
it empty to the package and mark it as editable. The packaging
system will leave it alone once modified until you uninstall the
package, whereupon it will be deleted.
That's interesting. Was there such a notion (editable) in SVR4
packaging? How do I deal with the Solaris "docks" to deliver SVR4
packages that follow this model?
