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

<section>
<title>FILE SYNTAX</title>
<p>The release resource file should 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>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>RelName = string()</c> is the name of the release.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Vsn = string()</c> is the version of the release.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>EVsn = string()</c> is the version of ERTS the release is
intended for.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Application = atom()</c> is the name of an application
included in the release.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>AppVsn = string()</c> is the version of an application
included in the release.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Type = permanent | transient | temporary | load | none</c>
is the start type of an application included in the release.</p>
<p>If <c>Type = permanent | transient | temporary</c>,
the application will be loaded and started in the corresponding
way, see <c>application(3)</c>. If <c>Type = load</c>,
the application will only be loaded. If <c>Type = none</c>,
the application will be neither loaded nor started, although
the code for its modules will be loaded.
Defaults to <c>permanent</c></p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>IncApps = [atom()]</c> is a list of applications that are
included by an application included in the release.</p>
<p>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>
</list>
<note>
<p>The list of applications must contain the <c>kernel</c> and
<c>stdlib</c> applications.</p>
