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(4) 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.

NOTES

     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(4) file. For example,  such  a
     file  might  be  created during package development and used
     while testing software during this stage.
