<p>The <em>release resource file</em> specifies which applications
are included in a release (system) based on Erlang/OTP.</p>
<p>This file is used by the functions in
<seealso marker="systools"><c>systools</c></seealso>
when generating start scripts (<c>.script</c>, <c>.boot</c>) and
release upgrade files (<c>relup</c>).</p>

<title>File Syntax</title>
<p>The release resource file is to be called <c>Name.rel</c>.</p>
<p>The <c>.rel</c> file contains one single Erlang term, which is
called a <em>release specification</em>. The file has the
following syntax:</p>
<code type="none">
{release, {RelName,Vsn}, {erts, EVsn},
[{Application, AppVsn} |
{Application, AppVsn, Type} |
{Application, AppVsn, IncApps} |
{Application, AppVsn, Type, IncApps}]}.</code>
<taglist>
<tag><c>RelName = string()</c></tag>
<item><p>Release name.</p></item>
<tag><c>Vsn = string()</c></tag>
<item><p>Release version.</p></item>
<tag><c>EVsn = string()</c></tag>
<item><p><c>ERTS</c> version the release is intended for.</p></item>
<tag><c>Application = atom()</c></tag>
<item><p>Name of an application included in the release.</p></item>
<tag><c>AppVsn = string()</c></tag>
<item><p>Version of an application included in the release.</p></item>
<tag><c>Type = permanent | transient | temporary | load | none</c></tag>
<item><p>Start type of an application included in the release.</p>
<p>If <c>Type = permanent | transient | temporary</c>, the
application is loaded and started in the corresponding way, see
<seealso marker="kernel:application"><c>application(3)</c></seealso>.</p>
<p>If <c>Type = load</c>, the application is only loaded.</p>
<p>If <c>Type = none</c>, the application is not loaded and not
started, although the code for its modules is loaded.</p>
<p>Defaults to <c>permanent</c></p></item>
<tag><c>IncApps = [atom()]</c></tag>
<item><p>A list of applications that are included by an application
included in the release. The list must be a subset of the
included applications
specified in the application resource file
(<c>Application.app</c>) and overrides this value. Defaults
to the same value as in the application resource file.</p></item>
</taglist>
<note>
<p>The list of applications must contain the <c>Kernel</c> and
<c>STDLIB</c> applications.</p>
