Description

   The PMDF INSTALL utility is used to install or deinstall PMDF
   images. This utility invokes the command file IMAGE_INSTALL.COM
   with a command of the form

   $ @PMDF_COM:image_install.com PMDF operation-type

   where OPERATION-TYPE is one of ADD, CREATE, DELETE, LIST, REMOVE,
   or REPLACE. Each of these operations corresponds to the OpenVMS
   INSTALL utility operation of the same name; consult the OpenVMS
   Install Utility Reference Manual for descriptions of these
   operations. IMAGE_INSTALL.COM invokes the OpenVMS INSTALL utility
   and executes the operation OPERATION-TYPE for each file specified
   in the the file PMDFIMAGE.DAT in the PMDF_COM: directory.
   (Exclamation marks are used in that file to introduce comments.)

   The PMDFIMAGE.DAT file is reserved for PMDF use and should
   not be modified. PMDF INSTALL will also use an optional, site-
   supplied PMDF_COM:SITEIMAGE.DAT file, of the same format as the
   PMDFIMAGE.DAT file, listing additional site-specific files. Thus
   sites that want to install additional, site-specific PMDF images,
   should do so by adding them to their own SITEIMAGE.DAT file.

   Note that the PMDF startup procedure installs PMDF at system
   startup by issuing the command

   $ @PMDF_COM:image_install.com PMDF CREATE

   The PMDF INSTALL command is not used by the startup procedure
   since not all sites insert the PMDF verb into their system DCL
   tables.

   CMKRNL privilege is required to use the PMDF INSTALL utility.
