NAME

       showrev - show machine, software revision, and patch revision information

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/showrev [-a] [-p | -p -R root_path]  [-w] [-c command] [-s hostname]

       showrev  displays revision information for the current hardware and software. With no arguments, showrev shows the system revision informa-
       tion including hostname, hostid, release, kernel architecture, application architecture, hardware provider, domain, and kernel version.

       If a command is supplied with the -c option, showrev shows the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and finds out all the directories within  the  PATH
       that contain it. For each file found, its file type, revision, permissions, library information, and checksum are printed as well.

       The following options are supported:

       -a              Print all system revision information available. Window system and patch information are added.

       -c command      Print the revision information about command.

       -p              Print only the revision information about patches.

       -R root_path    Define  the full path name of a directory to use as the root_path. By specifying the root path, showrev retrieves the revi-
                       sion information about the patch from package  system  information  files  located  under  a  directory  tree  starting  at
                       root_path.  The root_path can be specified when retrieving installed patch information in a client from a server, for exam-
                       ple, /export/root/client1.

                       Note -  The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -R option. Doing so might  damage  the
                               global zone's file system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's
                               file system. See zones(5).

       -s hostname     Perform this operation on the specified hostname. The -s operation  completes  correctly  only  when  hostname  is  running
                       Solaris 2.5 or compatible versions.

       -w              Print only the OpenWindows revision information.
