I don't think it is explicitly stated there, but the format of the
inventory file is virtually identically to the format of the file
/etc/security/sysck.cfg.  There are a few differences, most dealing
with file sizes and checksums.  I believe these are described in
some documentation.

The one place that I think has the most documentation on the SYSCK
database and the files it uses is the BOS README file.  I may still
have some viewgraphs or documentation on SYSCK if there are still
questions.
