Obtaining Package Information for a Script

Two commands can be used from scripts to solicit information about a package:

• The pkginfo command returns information about software packages, such as the instance identifier and package name.

• The pkgparam command returns values for requested environment variables.

  See the pkginfo(1) man page, the pkgparam(1) man page, and Chapter 4, Verifying and Transferring a Package for more information.
