The following nested elements can be used in the <file> tag:

<additionaldata>
Operating System
An os element in an file element indicates that this file applies to the operating system that is identified by the family attributeThis tag can also be specified in order to pass additional data related to a file tag for customizing.
Attribute | Description | Required | family | Identifies an operating system to which this This can have a value of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| key to identify the data | |||
| value which can be used by a custom action |
;<additionaldata> is an element which may provide additional information as key-value pairs to certain custom actions. The particular key-value pairs you might use depend on the particular custom action.
Currently, there are two built-in custom actions consuming such data, ChmodCompilerListener and ChmodInstallerListener, where relevant keys are
- permission.dir,
- permission.file
with integer values interpreted as permissions like in the Unix chmod:
If value begins with "0" -> octal number,
otherwise is is a decimal number representing some permission.
These permissions are applied to the appropriate files either during the compilation of the package or while installing them later, depending on whether the consumer implements a CompilerListener or InstallerListener.
