SWCONFIG(C)                                UNIX System V



     Name
          swconfig - produces a list of the software modifications  to
          the system


     Syntax
          swconfig [-a] [-p]


     Description
          swconfig displays the modifications to the  system  software
          since its initialization, in much the same way that hwconfig
          tells the user what hardware is  installed  on  the  system.
          The  program can tell the user what sets have been installed
          or removed from the system, as well as what release and what
          parts of the packages were installed at that time.


     Options
          Additional flags  let  the  user  ask  to  see  all  of  the
          description of each installation on the system.

          The default behavior is simple so that  the  information  is
          displayed  quickly.  Additional flags can be used to perform
          more complex manipulations. Updates are recognized and noted
          as such.  The release number is displayed in all cases.

          Without options, swconfig generates a display similar to the
          following example:

          Set                               Release    Notes
          ---                               -------    -----
          Operating System                  2.3.1a     partially removed
          International XENIX O.S. Supplem  2.0.0e     partially installed
          Development System                2.3.0b     removed

               -a   The -a flag lists all the information contained in
                    /usr/lib/custom/history,  but  sorted by date.  It
                    groups products that were installed  at  the  same
                    time,    but    displays    entries   in   reverse
                    chronological order.

               -p   The flag -p is used to display package information
                    in  addition to the default information. A list of
                    all the packages in a  set  is  stored  and  their
                    installed   status  tracked  by  the  sequence  of
                    information in /usr/lib/custom/history.


     Examples
          Here is a sample output using the -a option:
