Identifying installed software

Identifying installed software can serve more than one purpose: on your system, it can help you

determine what software will get updated or overwritten; and on media, it can help you determine

your software choices.

To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For example, to show revision

and descriptive title of all software installed on a system, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist

For more information, see the swlist(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide,

available on the Instant Information DVD or the web (http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs).

NOTE: Third-party software might have been installed onto the system without using Software

Distributor. If so, it will not appear in the output of swlist. You should consult your own

documentation about the system to determine what other applications might be installed.
