rel − Release resource file
DESCRIPTION
The release resource file specifies which applications are are included in a release (system) based on Erlang/OTP.
This file is used by the functions in systools when generating start scripts ( .script, .boot) and release upgrade files ( relup).
FILE SYNTAX
The release resource file should be called Name.rel.
The .rel file contains one single Erlang term, which is called a release specification. The file has the following syntax:
{release,
{RelName,Vsn}, {erts, EVsn},
[{Application, AppVsn} |
{Application, AppVsn, Type} |
{Application, AppVsn, IncApps} |
{Application, AppVsn, Type, IncApps}]}.
|
* |
RelName = string() is the name of the release. .br .br | ||
|
* |
Vsn = string() is the version of the release. .br .br | ||
|
* |
EVsn = string() is the version of ERTS the release is intended for. .br .br | ||

AppVsn = string() is the version of an application included in the release. .br .br | ||

Type = permanent | transient | temporary | load | none is the start type of an application included in the release. .br .br If Type = permanent | transient | temporary, the application will be loaded and started in the corresponding way, see application(3erl). If Type = load, the application will only be loaded. If Type = none, the application will be neither loaded nor started, although the code for its modules will be loaded. Defaults to permanent .br .br | ||
