NAME

6       pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
10            [-r release] pkg [pkg ...]

DESCRIPTION

14       The  /usr/bin/pkg2du  utility  takes  one or more packages as input and
15       converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the -d option is  speci‐
16       fied,  the  resulting DU directory tree is placed in the directory dir.
17       If the -o option is specified, a Solaris ISO image of the DU  directory
18       tree  is  written  in  the  file  iso. The ISO image can be burned onto
19       CD/DVD using cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS  man  page)  and  used
20       during Solaris installation.
21
22
23       At  least  one  of the -d and -o options must be specified. If both are
24       specified, then both an ISO image and a directory tree are generated.
25

28
29       -d dir
30
31           Directory where the DU directory should be created.

53           number of the currently running Solaris is used.
