 Pmodes is a program that updates pkgmap files or pkg prototype files.
 
 
+
+Applicability:
+
+Use of pmodes has been deprecated in onnv-gate; instead, see
+validate_pkg, as delivered by developer/build/onbld, and
+exception_lists/pmodes.
+
+Other OSNet users (ie on10 patch gates and earlier) should use pmodes
+from their own workspace.
+
+The information here is suitable for pmodes users in other
+consolidations, using tools from onnv-tools.

 Usage: pmodes [-somwDeNndvqP] [-r file] directory  .. proto/pkgmap file....

+Exceptions
+
+If pmodes insists on flagging errors that you believe must be
+integrated as-is, you may update the inline initializers for either
+exceptions or exempt_pkgs in pmodes.c.  If you do this, make sure that
+the bug report and your RTI include a justification for the exception.
