The rest of the buildfile

Updated: April 19, 2023

The rest of the buildfile contains attributes, filenames, and image contents. These determine where mkifs looks for the files it includes in the image, as well as system attributes such as file ownership and permissions.

The following excerpt provides an example of the last part of a buildfile:

ldqnx-64.so.2
libc.so
libgcc_s.so.1

devc-ser8250
hello

If we parse these buildfile contents, we find ldqnx-64.so.2, libc.so, libgcc_s.so.1, devc-ser8250, and hello, which are the names of files to include in the image.
