DESCRIPTION

15       showrev displays revision information  for  the  current  hardware  and
16       software. With no arguments, showrev shows the system revision informa‐
17       tion including hostname, hostid, release, kernel architecture, applica‐
18       tion architecture, hardware provider, domain, and kernel version.
19
20
21       If a command is supplied with the -c option, showrev shows the PATH and
22       LD_LIBRARY_PATH and finds out all the directories within the PATH  that
23       contain  it. For each file found, its file type, revision, permissions,
24       library information, and checksum are printed as well.
25

OPTIONS

27       The following options are supported:
28
29       -a              Print all system revision information available. Window
30                       system and patch information are added.
31
32
33       -c command      Print the revision information about command.
34
35
36       -p              Print only the revision information about patches.
37
38
39       -R root_path    Define  the full path name of a directory to use as the
40                       root_path.  By  specifying  the  root   path,   showrev
41                       retrieves the revision information about the patch from
42                       package system information files located under a direc‐
43                       tory  tree  starting at root_path. The root_path can be
44                       specified when retrieving installed  patch  information
45                       in    a    client   from   a   server,   for   example,
46                       /export/root/client1.
47
48                       Note -
49
50                         The root file system of any non-global zones must not
51                         be referenced with the -R option. Doing so might dam‐
52                         age the global zone's file system,  might  compromise
53                         the security of the global zone, and might damage the
54                         non-global zone's file system. See zones(5).
55
56
57       -s hostname     Perform this operation on the specified  hostname.  The
58                       -s  operation completes correctly only when hostname is
59                       running Solaris 2.5 or compatible versions.
60
61
62       -w              Print only the OpenWindows revision information.

BUGS

105       For the -s option to work when hostname is running a version of Solaris
106       prior to 2.5, the Solstice AdminSuite must be installed on hostname.
