pkgparam(1M)                                                   pkgparam(1M)

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

     -d        Specifies the device on which a pkginst is stored. device
               can be a full path name to a directory or the identifier for
               tape (for example /var/tmp). It can also be the device
               alias. 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 parameter
               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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     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.
