QNX SDP7.0 - Qscan Tool 1.1.1: Release Notes
Date of this edition: October 28, 2019
The Qscan tool (qscan.sh) generates manifests for your QNX target images. A manifest is a plain text file that lists the properties of any files found in a target image. This information can, for example, help you determine:
- which subsystem a file belongs to
- whether the file comes from QNX Software Systems or another source
- whether the file has been modified or corrupted
- whether the file is eligible for distribution in a runtime system
- whether the file contains open source software (OSS)
- whether the file is stable or experimental
You can import the manifests generated by Qscan into the Reports feature of the QNX Software Center or into the Reporting tool of the QNX Software Center Portal (https://www.qnx.com/swcenter/). You can then filter, sort, and arrange the data into a report that addresses your requirements.
