Hi just wondering really ......
I've done a
and am somewhat surprised to see apparently multiple different versions of the same patches ......
112161-02
112161-03
112161-04
It's my understanding that a newer revision of a patch , -04 in this case supercedes all previous iterations of that patch .... and presumably obsoletes them. Why then are they listed? It makes finding the latest version a flipping nightmare. I'd have expected showrev -p to show only the latest version of a particular patch, not all versions that have been on there.
Further investigation ....
says that 112161-02 is a requisite of 3 other patches ..... ok I can accept that the system make keep hold of it if it's a requisite, but as far as I can tell, nothing uses 112161-03

Reason: update
Is there a way to script so you can check patches and output to a file? Example: 50 unix systems (versions 2.51, 2.60, 2.8) and check to see if one particular patch is installed? (ex. 106160-02)
I know the showrev -p will work, but I would like to automate it.
Hope Christmas was good!

Hello!
I have a set of headers and libraries I want to use but they are mixed with ones I do not want to use. They are part of some official stuff, so I cannot modify them while begging and pleading for weeks.
These headers and libraries are located here

showrev
showrev(1M)showrev(1M)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.
OUTPUT
Varies, based on flags passed. If no flags are passed, output similar to the following appears:
Hostname: system1
Hostid: 7233808e
Release: 5.10
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain: a.network.COM
Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 generic
The following error values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

arch(1), ldd(1), mcs(1), sum(1), patchadd(1M), attributes(5)
For the -s option to work when hostname is running a version of Solaris prior to 2.5, the Solstice AdminSuite must be installed on host-
name.
