Verifying a Depot (swverify -d)
To can use the swverify command to verify the software within a depot.
swverify performs these tasks:
• Verifies that all dependencies (prerequisites or corequisites) can be
met.
• Reports missing files.
• Checks file attributes, including permissions, file types, size,
checksum, mtime, and major/minor attributes.
For example, to verify the entire contents of a local depot:
swverify -d \* @ /var/spool/sw
NOTE The swverify command does not execute vendor-supplied verification
scripts within a depot.
