HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2007 (Update 1 Release)

Identifying Installed Software
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
To list all products and their versions on a DVD mounted at /dvdrom, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -s /dvdrom
To get a table of contents and product details, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -dvl product -a readme @ /dvdrom
The swlist command has many options to expand or narrow the listing to specific
attributes. Refer to the swlist(1M) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration
Guide, available on the Instant Information DVD and at the HP Technical Documentation
