+ <title>File Syntax</title>
+ <p>In a target system, the release upgrade file is to be located in
+ directory <c>$ROOT/releases/Vsn</c>.</p>
<p>The <c>relup</c> file contains one single Erlang term, which
defines the instructions used to upgrade the release. The file has
the following syntax:</p>
<code type="none">
{Vsn,
[{UpFromVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...],
- [{DownToVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...]}.
- </code>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>
- <p><c>Vsn = string()</c> is the current version of the release.</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p><c>UpFromVsn = string()</c> is an earlier version of the release
- to upgrade from.</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p><c>Descr = term()</c> is a user defined parameter passed
- from the <c>systools:make_relup/3,4</c> function. It will
- be used in the return value of
- <c>release_handler:install_release/1,2</c>.</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p><c>Instructions</c> is a list of low-level release upgrade
- instructions, see <c>appup(4)</c>.</p>
- <p>It consists of the release upgrade instructions from
+ [{DownToVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...]}.</code>

the respective application upgrade files (high-level instructions
are translated to low-level instructions), in the same order
