A BOM file (named with the suffix ``.bom'') stores the bill of materials for a single directory in a binary format. Since NEXTSTEP includes a number of optional packages which may or may not be installed on a particular computer, more than one BOM file may be needed to characterize a given NEXTSTEP installation.
The bill of materials for a minimal NEXTSTEP system is stored in /usr/lib/NextStep/BaseSystem.bom. BOMs for optional packages are found within the package receipts located in /NextLibrary/Receipts. For example, the bill of materials for the NEXTSTEP Documentation package is located in /NextLibrary/Receipts/Documentation.pkg/Documentation.bom.
/NextLibrary/Receipts/*.pkg/*.bom - BOMs for other installed packages
