DESCRIPTION

18       pkginfo displays information about software packages that are installed
19       on the system (with the first synopsis)  or that reside on a particular
20       device or directory (with the second synopsis).
21
22
23       Without  options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package instance,
24       and the names of all completely installed and partially installed pack‐
25       ages. It displays one line for each package selected.

OPTIONS

29       -d option.

42           the  CATEGORY  parameter  in  the pkginfo(4) file. If more than one
43           category is supplied, the  package needs to match only one category
44           in the list. The match is not case specific.

46
47       -d device
48
49           Defines a device, device, on which the software resides. device can
50           be an absolute directory pathname  or  the  identifiers  for  tape,
51           floppy disk, removable disk, and so forth. The special token  spool
52           may be used to indicate the default  installation  spool  directory
53           (/var/spool/pkg).

OPERANDS

108
109           A package designation by its instance. An instance can be the pack‐
110           age abbreviation or a specific instance  (for  example,  inst.1  or
111           inst.2). All instances of a package can be requested by inst.*. The
112           asterisk character (*) is a special character to  some  shells  and
113           may  need  to be escaped. In the C-Shell, "*" must be surrounded by
114           single quotes (') or preceded by a backslash (\).

NOTES

154       Package  commands are largefile(5)-aware. They handle files larger than
155       2 GB in the same way they handle smaller files. In their current imple‐
156       mentations,  pkgadd(1M),  pkgtrans(1)  and  other  package commands can
157       process a datastream of  up to 4 GB.
