PKGPARAM(1) User Commands PKGPARAM(1)
NAME
pkgparam - display package parameter values
SYNOPSIS
pkgparam [
-v] [
-d device] [
-R root_path]
pkginst [
param]...
pkgparam -f filename [
-v] [
param]...
DESCRIPTION
pkgparam displays the value associated with the parameter or parameters
requested on the command line. The values are located in either the
pkginfo(5) file for
pkginst or from the specific file named with the
-f option.
One parameter value is shown per line. Only the value of a parameter is
given unless the
-v option is used. With this option, the output of the
command is in this format:
parameter1='value1' parameter2='value2' parameter3='value3' If no parameters are specified on the command line, values for all
parameters associated with the package are shown.
OPTIONS
Options and arguments for this command are:
-d device Specify the
device on which a
pkginst is stored. It can
be a directory pathname or the identifiers for tape,
floppy disk, or removable disk (for example,
/var/tmp,
/dev/diskette, and
/dev/dsk/c1d0s0). The special token
spool may be used to represent the default installation
spool directory (
/var/spool/pkg).
-f filename Read
filename for parameter values.
-R root_path Defines the full path name of a subdirectory to use as
the
root_path. All files, including package system
information files, are relocated to a directory tree
starting in the specified
root_path.
-v Verbose mode. Display name of parameter and its value.
OPERANDS
pkginst Defines a specific package instance for which parameter values
should be displayed.
param Defines a specific parameter whose value should be displayed.
ERRORS
If parameter information is not available for the indicated package, the
command exits with a non-zero status.
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.

With the
-f option, you can specify the file from which parameter values
should be extracted. This file should be in the same format as a
pkginfo(5) file. For example, such a file might be created during package
development and used while testing software during this stage.
Package commands are
largefile(7)-aware. They handle files larger than 2
GB in the same way they handle smaller files. In their current
implementations,
pkgadd(8),
pkgtrans(1) and other package commands can
process a datastream of up to 4 GB.
