pkgparam

Synopsis

pkgparam [options] pkginst [param ...]
pkgparam -f filename[-v] [param ...]

pkgparam prints the values of the given parameters for the named packages. With no parameters, it prints the values of all parameters. By default it looks in the pkginfo file for the package, but the -f option restricts pkgparam to looking in the named file. pkginst is the package for which information should be printed.

Options

-d device

Use device as the source for the package to be processed.

-f file

Read parameter values from file instead of from the pkginfo file.

-R root-path

Process all files under root-path. This is used on server systems when working with packages for clients.

-v

Verbose mode. Display the parameter name and value, instead of just the value.
