How to List Information About All Installed Packages

List information about installed packages with the pkginfo command.

$ pkginfo

Example--Listing All Packages Installed

The following example shows the pkginfo command to list all packages installed on a local system, whether that system is a standalone, server, diskless client, or AutoClient system. The output shows the primary category, package name, and a description of the package.

$ pkginfo
system      SUNWab2m       Solaris Documentation Server Lookup
system      SUNWaccr       System Accounting, (Root)
system      SUNWaccu       System Accounting, (Usr)
system      SUNWadmap      System administration applications
system      SUNWadmc       System administration core libraries

Example--Listing All Packages Installed on a Diskless or AutoClient System

In a diskless or AutoClient system client/server setup, you may want to manage software from a central location. Since the server is the place to do this, you would need to use a variation of the pkginfo command. The following example shows the pkginfo -R command to list all packages installed on a diskless client named io. This command is executed from the diskless client's server.

server$ pkginfo -R /export/root/io
system			SUNWaccr			System Accounting, (Root)
system			SUNWaccu			System Accounting, (Usr)
system			SUNWadmap		System & Network Administration Applications
system			SUNWadmfw		System & Network Administration Framework
