10 The scr tool
This chapter describes the principles of creating and modifying cash register
images using the scr (setup cash register) command line tool. Every image
created is filed into a specified directory.
The scr tool can be used in one of the following ways:
1. Create an image from a ready-to-use image description tree. In this case,
one scr call with the necessary options creates the image.
2. Create an image step-by-step. In this case, the image is first prepared,
which means the root directory of the image is accessible. A next step
may be to modify the contents of the image below the image root direc-
tory, for example, install a program into the image. The last step is to
create the image from the current contents.
Chapter 11 describes the use of scr in more detail. Below, find an overview
and a description of the available src options:
