System Administration Guide: Virtualization Using the Solaris Operating System

Package Information Query

The pkginfo utility described in the pkginfo(1) man page supports querying the software package database on a Solaris system with zones installed. For information about the database, see Product Database (SVr4 Only).

The pkginfo utility can be used in the global zone to query the software package database in the global zone only. The pkginfo utility can be used in a non-global zone to query the software package database in the non-global global zone only.

On the OpenSolaris 2009.06 release, use the pkginfo command.
