R mode user group destination
Specifies that the file is to be removed upon patching. The user
and group fields are ignored. The mode field is only used to

file.
LIST VARIABLES
EPM maintains a list of variables and their values which can be used to
substitute values in the list file. These variables are imported from
the current environment and taken from the command-line and list file
as provided. Substitutions occur when the variable name is referenced
with the dollar sign ($):
%postinstall <<EOF
echo What is your name:
read $$name
Your name is $$name
EOF
f 0555 root sys ${bindir}/foo foo
f 0555 root sys $datadir/foo/foo.dat foo.dat
Variable names can be surrounded by curley brackets (${name}) or alone
($name); without brackets the name is terminated by the first slash
(/), dash (-), or whitespace. The dollar sign can be inserted using
$$.
