Managing Installed Software
Listing Your Software (swlist)
Chapter 3108
The starting point for a software list is always taken from the operands
in the -l and -a options (or from the level or one_liner options). You
must decide what levels you want and what software attributes to list in
addition to the product name.
NOTE Examples in the following sections do not include a value for the
one_liner option.
Specifying Product Level Specifying a level for a given software
selection causes swlist to list the objects at that level plus all those that
are above that level. Upper levels will be commented with a # sign.
Therefore, only the level specified (product, subproduct, fileset or file)
will be uncommented. This allows the output from swlist to be used as
input to other commands. The exceptions are:
1) a list that contains only files; file-level output is not accepted by other
commands
2) a list that contains software attributes (-a and -v).
swlist -l subproduct Shows products and subproducts
swlist -l fileset Shows products, subproducts and filesets
swlist -l file Shows products, subproducts, filesets,
files and numbers (used in software
licensing).
swlist -l category Shows all categories of available patches
for patches that have included category
objects in their definition.
swlist -l patch Shows all applied patches.
