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
     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.
