SYNOPSIS
| pkginfo [ -q | -x | -l] [ -p | -i] [-r] [-a arch] [-v version] [-c category ...] [pkginst ...] |
| pkginfo [-d device] [-R root_path] [ -q | -x | -l] [-a arch] [-v version] [-c category ...] [pkginst ...] |

pkginfo displays information about software packages that are installed on the system (with the first synopsis) or that reside on a particular device or directory (with the second
synopsis).
Without options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package instance, and the names of all completely installed and partially installed packages. It displays one line for each
package selected.

The -p and -i options are meaningless if used in conjunction with the -d option.
The options -q, -x, and -l are mutually exclusive.
- -a arch
- Specify the architecture of the package as arch.
- -c category
- Display packages that match category. Categories are defined with the CATEGORY parameter in the pkginfo(4)
file. If more than one category is supplied, the package needs to match only one category in the list. The match is not case specific.
- -d device
- Defines a device, device, on which the software resides. device
can be an absolute directory pathname or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk, removable disk, and so forth. The special token spool may be used to indicate the default installation
spool directory (/var/spool/pkg).
- -i
- Display information for fully installed packages only.
- -l
- Specify long format, which includes all available information about the designated package(s).
- -p
- Display information for partially installed packages only.
- -q
- Do not list any information. Used from a program to check whether or not a package has been installed.
- -r
- List the installation base for relocatable packages.
- -R root_path
- Defines the full path name of a directory to use as the root_path. All files,
including package system information files, are relocated to a directory tree starting in the specified root_path.
- -v version
- Specify the version of the package as version. The version is defined with the VERSION parameter in the pkginfo(4)
file. All compatible versions can be requested by preceding the version name with a tilde ([ap ]). Multiple white spaces are replaced with a single white space during version comparison.
- -x
- Designate an extracted listing of package information. The listing contains the package abbreviation, package name, package architecture (if
available) and package version (if available).

pkginst
- A package designation by its instance. An instance can be the package abbreviation
or a specific instance (for example, inst.1 or inst.2). All instances of a package can be requested by inst.*. The asterisk character (*) is a special character to some shells and may need to be escaped. In the C-Shell, "*" must be surrounded by single quotes (') or preceded by a backslash (\).
