pkginfo displays information about software
packages which are installed on the system (with the first synopsis) or
which reside on a particular device or directory (with the second synopsis).
Without options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package instance,
and the names of all completely installed and partially installed packages.
It displays one line for each package selected.
The -p and -i options
are meaningless if used in conjunction with the -d option.
The options -q,
-x, and -l are mutually exclusive.
- -a arch
- Specify the architecture of the
package as arch.
- -c category
- Display packages that match category. Categories
are defined in the category field of the pkginfo file. If more than one
category is supplied, the package needs to match only one category in
the list. The match is not case specific.
- -d device
- Defines a device, device,
on which the software resides. device can be an absolute directory pathname
or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk, removable disk, and so forth.
The special token spool may be used to indicate the default installation
spool directory (/var/spool/pkg).
- -i
- Display information for fully installed
packages only.
- -l
- Specify long format, which includes all available information
about the designated package(s).
- -p
- Display information for partially installed
packages only.
- -q
- Do not list any information. Used from a program to check
whether or not a package has been installed.
- -r
- List the installation base
for relocatable packages.
- -R root_path
- Defines the full path name of a subdirectory
to use as the root_path. All files, including package system information
files, are relocated to a directory tree starting in the specified root_path.
- -v version
- Specify the version of the package as version. All compatible
versions can be requested by preceding the version name with a tilde (~).
Multiple white spaces are replaced with a single white space during version
comparison.
- -x
- Designate an extracted listing of package information. The
listing contains the package abbreviation, package name, package architecture
(if available) and package version (if available).
- pkginst
- A package
designation by its instance. An instance can be the package abbreviation
or a specific instance (for example, inst.1 or inst.beta). All instances of
a package can be requested by inst.*.
The asterisk character "*" is a special
character to some shells and may need to be escaped. In the C-Shell, "*"
must be surrounded by single quotes (’) or preceded by a backslash (\).
- /var/spool/pkg
- default installation spool directory
