<asset>

(Optional) Specifies an asset that is used in the BAR file.

Parent elements:

<qnx>, <configuration>

Child elements:

Name Cardinality
exclude Any number
include Any number

Description:

The <asset> element specifies an asset that is packaged in the BAR file. All assets that are specified on the command line override the assets that you specify with this tag. The text of the tag is a path relative to the bar package assets root directory. You can use the dest attribute instead to specify the asset. This technique is recommended when using nested <exclude> and <include> elements.

Content:

A PCDATA value representing the location and name of the asset(file).
