showrev(1M)

NAME

     showrev - show machine, software revision, and  patch  revi-
     sion information

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/bin/showrev [-a]  [-p  |  -p  -R  root_path]   [-w]  [-
     c command] [-s hostname]

DESCRIPTION

     showrev  displays  revision  information  for  the   current
     hardware  and software. With no arguments, showrev shows the
     system  revision  information  including  hostname,  hostid,
     release,   kernel  architecture,  application  architecture,
     hardware provider, domain, and kernel version.

     If a command is supplied with the -c option,  showrev  shows
     the  PATH  and  LD_LIBRARY_PATH and finds out all the direc-
     tories within the PATH that contain it. For each file found,
     its  file  type, revision, permissions, library information,
     and checksum are printed as well.

OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -a    Print all system revision information available.  Win-
           dow system and patch information are added.

     -c command
           Print the revision information about command.

     -p    Print only the revision information about patches.

     -R root_path
           Define the full path name of a directory to use as the
           root_path.   By  specifying  the  root  path,  showrev
           retrieves the revision  information  about  the  patch
           from  package system information files located under a
           directory tree starting at  root_path.  The  root_path
           can  be  specified  when  retrieving  installed  patch
           information in a client from a  server,  for  example,
           /export/root/client1.

     -s hostname
           Perform this operation on the specified hostname.  The
           -s operation completes correctly only when hostname is
           running Solaris 2.5 or compatible versions.

     -w    Print only the OpenWindows revision information.

OUTPUT

     put similar to the following appears:

BUGS

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