NAME
       pkginfo - display software package information

SYNOPSIS
       pkginfo [-q|x|l] [-p|i] [-a arch] [-v version] [-c
       category1,[category2[, ...]]] [pkginst[,pkginst[, ...]]]
       pkginfo [-d device [-q|x|l] [-a arch] [-v version] [-c
       category1,[category2[, ...]]] [pkginst[,pkginst[, ...]]]

DESCRIPTION
       pkginfo displays information about software packages which are
       installed on the system (with the first synopsis) or which reside on
       a particular device or directory (with the second synopsis).  Only
       the package name and abbreviation for pre-SVR4 packages will be
       included in the display.

       The options for this command are:

       -q        Does not list any information, but can be used from a
                 program to check (i.e., query) whether or not a package has
                 been installed.

       -x        Designates an extracted listing of package information.  It
                 contains the package abbreviation, package name, package
                 architecture (if available) and package version (if
                 available).

       -l        Designates long format, which includes all available
                 information about the designated package(s).

       -p        Designates that information should be presented only for
                 partially installed packages.

       -i        Designates that information should be presented only for
                 fully installed packages.

       -a        Specifies the architecture of the package as arch.

       -v        Specifies the version of the package as version.  "All
                 compatible versions" can be requested by preceding the
                 version name with a tilde (~).  Multiple white space is
                 replaced with a single space during version comparison.

       -c        Selects packages to be display based on the category
                 category.  (Categories are defined in the category field of
                 the pkginfo file.)  If more than one category is supplied,
                 the package must only match one of the list of categories.
                 The match is not case specific.

       pkginst   Designates a package by its instance.  An instance can be
                 the package abbreviation or a specific instance (for
                 example, inst.1 or inst.beta).  All instances of package
                 can be requested by inst.*.

       -d        Defines a device, device, on which the software resides.
                 device can be a directory pathname or the identifiers for
                 tape, floppy disk, removable disk, etc.  The special token
                 "spool" may be used to indicate the default installation
                 spool directory.

SEE ALSO
       pkgadd(1M), pkgask(1M), pkgchk(1M), pkgrm(1M), pkgtrans(1).

NOTES
       Without options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package
       instance, and name of all completely installed and partially
       installed packages.  One line per package selected is produced.

       The -p and -i options are meaningless if used in conjunction with the
       -d option.

       The options -q, -x, and -l are mutually exclusive.

       pkginfo cannot tell if a pre-SVR4 package is only partially
       installed.  It is assumed that all pre-SVR4 packages are fully
       installed.
