pkginfo - show information on software packages in POSIX

The pkginfo command shows information on software packages which are installed in POSIX. A software package installed in POSIX is defined by:

• the name of the software product

• the package from the software product (optional)

• the version of the software product

• the path under which the software product is installed (default: /)

• the BS2000 library (SINLIB) from which the software product was installed

• the date of the (last) installation.

Syntax

pkginfo[ -l|-q][[ -v version][ -P package][ -I ipath] product]

Hint

The pkginfo command always outputs the information in English, regardless of the language set. This avoids problems which could otherwise occur during the analysis of outputs in shell scripts.

The names of the software product and package can be entered in upper or lower case.

Example 1

Outputting an overview of all the software packages installed:

$ pkginfo

Example 4

Checking the installation of particular versions of a software product:

$ pkginfo -q -v 027 crte && echo "INSTALLED." || echo "NOT INSTALLED."
NOT INSTALLED.
$ pkginfo -q -v 028 crte && echo "INSTALLED." || echo "NOT INSTALLED."
