Testing class files
After you create a class file, you can use the pfinstall command to test it. Testing a class file is sometimes called a “dry run” installation.

For example, you can determine whether a system has enough disk space to upgrade to a new release of Solaris before you actually perform the upgrade.
To test a class file for a particular Solaris release, you must test it within the Solaris environment of the same release. For example, if you want to test a class file for Solaris 9, you have to run the pfinstall command on a system running Solaris 9.
