NOTE: You can also set up remote access by using the swacl(1M) command directly on the remote
machines to grant root or non-root access to users from the controller system.
Interactive Operation
swlist supports an optional graphical user interface (GUI). (If your terminal or display cannot support
the GUI, the command also provides a terminal user interface, in which screen navigation is done with the
keyboard and no mouse.)
To invoke the GUI, type:
swlist -i or add the -i option with any other command-line options when you invoke the
swlist.
Previewing Product and OS Update Information
To preview information about new software in the depot, you can use swlist to view the readme file for
each product, including OS update information contained in the SD (SW-DIST product) readme.For
example, to display the latest OS update information:
swlist -d -a readme -l product SW-DIST @ hostA:/depot11
Options
When no options or operands are specified, swlist lists the software bundles (and products which are not
part of a bundle) that are installed at the local host. swlist supports the following options:
-d List software available from a depot (instead of software installed on a root filesystem).
-i Invoke the swlist interactive user interface. The interactive interface lets you browse
SD software objects. Invoking swlist -i -d lets you browse depot software. See the
Interactive Operation and Remote Operation headings above for additional
details.
-r Operates on an alternate root directory, which must be specified the @ target_selections
option. (This option is not required for alternate root operations but is maintained for back-
ward compatibility. See the
Alternate Root Directory and Depot Direc-
tory
heading in sd(5) for more information.)
-R Shorthand for -l bundle -l product -l subproduct -l fileset.
-v List all the attributes for an object if no -a options are specified. (Vendor-defined attri-
butes are not included. See the -a option.) The output lists one attribute per line in the
format:
attribute_name attribute_value
(See sd(4) for details on all SD attributes.)
-a attribute
Display a specific attribute, such as revision, description, vendor information, size, vendor-
defined attributes, or others. (See sd(4) for details on all SD attributes.) The output lists
one attribute per line in the format:
attribute_name attribute_value
To display multiple attributes, specify multiple -a options.
To list the full set of attributes for a software object, use the -v option.
Note that the
tag attribute (i.e. the identifier) is always displayed for product, subpro-
duct, and fileset objects. The path attribute (i.e. the filename) is always displayed for file
objects.
-c catalog
Write full catalog structure information into the directory specified by the catalog modifier.
You can use this exported catalog structure for distributions and to list installed software
catalog information.
If you use the -c catalog option, the -a attribute and -l level do not apply. All attri-
butes down to the file level and the control scripts are written to the catalog.
-C session_file
Save the current options and operands to session_file. You can enter a relative or absolute
