NAME
     pkgparam - displays package parameter values

SYNOPSIS
     pkgparam [-v][-d device] pkginst [param[ ...]]
     pkgparam -f file [-v] [param[ ...]]

DESCRIPTION
     pkgparam displays the value associated with the parameter or
     parameters  requested  on  the command line.  The values are
     located in either the pkginfo file for pkginst or  from  the
     specific file named with the -f option.  One parameter value
     is shown per line.  Only the value of a parameter  is  given
     unless  the -v option is used.  With this option, the output
     of the command is in this format:
          parameter1='value1'
          parameter2='value2'
          parameter3='value3'
     If no parameters are specified on the command  line,  values
     for  all  parameters  associated with the package are shown.
     Options and arguments for this command are:

     -v      Specifies verbose mode.  Displays name of  parameter
             and its value.

     -d      Specifies the device on which a pkginst  is  stored.
             It  can  be  a directory pathname or the identifiers
             for tape, floppy disk or removable disk  (for  exam-
             ple,  /var/tmp, /dev/diskette, and /dev/dsk/c1d0s0).
             The default device is the installation spool  direc-
             tory.   If  no  instance  name  is  given, parameter
             information for all packages residing in  device  is
             shown.

     -f      Requests that the command read  file  for  parameter
             values.

     pkginst Defines a specific package instance for which param-
             eter   values   should  be  displayed.   The  format
             pkginst.* can be used to indicate all instances of a
             package.

     param   Defines a specific parameter whose value  should  be
             displayed.

ERRORS
     If parameter information is not available for the  indicated
     package, the command exits with a non-zero status.

NOTES
     The -f synopsis allows you to specify the  file  from  which
     parameter  values  should be extracted.  This file should be



                                                                1

     in the same format as a pkginfo file.  As an example, such a
     file  might  be  created during package development and used
     while testing software during this stage.
