pkgparam

pkgparam(1)							   User Commands						       pkgparam(1)

NAME

       pkgparam - display package parameter values

SYNOPSIS

       pkgparam [-v] [-d device] [-R root_path] pkginst [param...]

       pkgparam -f filename [-v] [param...]

DESCRIPTION

       pkgparam displays the value associated with the parameter or parameters requested on the command line. The values are located in either the
       pkginfo(4) file for pkginst or from the specific file named with the -f option.

       One parameter value is shown per line. Only the value of a parameter is given unless the -v option is used. With this option, the output of
       the command is in this format:

	      parameter1='value1'
	      parameter2='value2'
	      parameter3='value3'

       If no parameters are specified on the command line, values for all parameters associated with the package are shown.

OPTIONS

       Options and arguments for this command are:

       -d device       Specify	the  device on which a pkginst is stored. It can be a directory pathname or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk,
		       or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp, /dev/diskette, and /dev/dsk/c1d0s0). The special token spool may be used to  rep-
		       resent the default installation spool directory (/var/spool/pkg).

       -f filename     Read filename for parameter values.

       -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	       Verbose mode. Display name of parameter and its value.

OPERANDS

       pkginst	       Defines a specific package instance for which parameter values should be displayed.

       param	       Defines a specific parameter whose value should be displayed.

ERRORS

       If parameter information is not available for the indicated package, the command exits with a non-zero status.

EXIT STATUS

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       pkgmk(1), pkgproto(1), pkgtrans(1), pkginfo(4), attributes(5)

       Application Packaging Developer's Guide

NOTES

       With the -f option, you can specify the file from which parameter values should be extracted. This file should be in the same  format as  a
       pkginfo(4) file. For example, such a file might be created during package development and used while testing software during this stage.
