DESCRIPTION

16       pkgparam displays the value associated with the parameter or parameters
17       requested on the command line. The values are  located  in  either  the
18       pkginfo(4) file for pkginst or from the specific file named with the -f
19       option.
20
21
22       One parameter value is shown per line. Only the value of a parameter is
23       given unless the -v option is used. With this option, the output of the
24       command is in this format:
25
26         parameter1='value1'
27         parameter2='value2'
28         parameter3='value3'

33       If no parameters are specified on the  command  line,  values  for  all
34       parameters associated with the package are shown.
35

OPTIONS

37       Options and arguments for this command are:
38
39       -d device       Specify the device on which a pkginst is stored. It can
40                       be a directory pathname or the  identifiers  for  tape,
41                       floppy  disk, or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp,
42                       /dev/diskette, and /dev/dsk/c1d0s0). The special  token
43                       spool may be used to represent the default installation
44                       spool directory (/var/spool/pkg).
45
46
47       -f filename     Read filename for parameter values.
48
49
50       -R root_path    Defines the full path name of a subdirectory to use  as
51                       the  root_path.  All  files,  including  package system
52                       information files, are relocated to  a  directory  tree
53                       starting in the specified root_path.
54
55
56       -v              Verbose mode. Display name of parameter and its value.

NOTES

99       With  the -f option, you can specify the file from which parameter val‐
100       ues should be extracted. This file should be in the same  format  as  a
101       pkginfo(4) file. For example, such a file might be created during pack‐
102       age development and used while testing software during this stage.
103
104
105       Package commands are largefile(5)-aware. They handle files larger  than
106       2 GB in the same way they handle smaller files. In their current imple‐
107       mentations, pkgadd(1M), pkgtrans(1)  and  other  package  commands  can
108       process a datastream of  up to 4 GB.
