pkgparam(1)pkgparam(1)NAMEpkgparam - displays package parameter values
SYNOPSISpkgparam [-v][-d device] pkginst [param[ . . .]]
pkgparam-f file [-v] [param[ . . .]]
DESCRIPTIONpkgparam 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
full pathname to a directory or the identifiers for tape, floppy
disk or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp, /dev/dsk/f0t, and
/dev/dsk/0s2). The default device is the installation spool
directory. 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 parameter values
should be displayed. The format pkginst.* can be used to
indicate all instances of a package. When using this format,
enclose the command line in single quotes to prevent the shell
from interpreting the * character.
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.

pkgparam(1)pkgparam(1)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.
