What is swDesc?
This read-only DisplayString (0-255 bytes) holds a human-readable description of a given software file set stored on the ES/1. An administrator reads it to identify what a stored image actually is without decoding raw binary offsets. For example, the admin checks swDesc for file set 1 to confirm it is labeled as the production boot image rather than a backup set.
