Chapter 5 Listing Software

Table of Contents

The swlist utility creates customizable listings of software products that are installed on your local host or stored in depots for later distribution.

With swlist you can:

Specify the "level" (bundles, products, subproducts, filesets or files) to show in your list.
Display a "table of contents" for a software source.
Specify a set of software attributes to display for each level. Software attributes are items of information about products contained in the Installed Products Database or in catalog files. These items can include the product's name or "tag," its size (in Kbytes), revision number, etc.
Display selected or all software attributes for each level.
Show the product structure of software selections.
List software stored in an alternate root directory.
Display the depots on a specified host.
Create a list of products, subproducts and/or filesets to use as input to the swinstall or swremove commands.
List the categories of available or applied patches.
List the values of a fileset's applied patches.




	NOTE: The SD-UX `swcluster` command also provides a listing capability. With its "list mode" (`swcluster -l`) you can display various parameters — shared and private roots, clients, booted_clients, bundles, products, subproducts and filesets — of an NFS diskless cluster. See “Installing/Updating Software on a Cluster Server ” for more information on diskless clusters.
