Images

An image is a collection of installable files that perform a similar or complementary function. Typically, each software product contains at least two images. This modularity allows for tailoring installations. For example, it is possible to install the images that contain the executable programs of a product without installing the release notes image.

The name of an image is the product shortname followed by an extension that describes the image's function. For example, ftn_dev.sw is the image in the Fortran 77 Compiler product that contains files for program execution, and ftn_dev.man is the image that contains documentation files.
