Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the
swlist command are:
LANG Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If LANG is not specified or
is set to the empty string, a default value of
C is used. See lang(5) for more informa-
tion.
NOTE: The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed is
set by the system configuration variable script,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
.For
example,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
, must be set to
LANG=ja_JP.SJIS or
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
LC_ALL Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified by
the settings of
LANG or any environment variables beginning with
LC_.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (e.g.,
single-versus multibyte characters in values for vendor-defined attributes).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the language in which messages should be written.
LC_TIME Determines the format of dates (create_date and mod_date) when displayed by swlist.
Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in
stdout, stderr, and log-
ging
.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Signals
The swlist command catches the signals SIGQUIT and SIGINT. If these signals are received,
swlist
prints a message, sends a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to the agents to wrap up, and then exits.
Each agent will complete the list task (if the execution phase has already started) before it wraps up.
OPERATION
The output from swlist follows this rule with all options: only the lowest level listed (product, subpro-
duct, fileset or file) will be uncommented. Among other things, this allows the output from
swlist to be
used as input to other commands. The one exception is the list that contains files; file-level output is not
accepted by other commands.
The types of listings that can be selected are given below. Some of these listings are not exclusive choices,
but rather ways to view the objects while controlling the amount of output.
• Default Listing
• Software Listing
• Root Listing
• Depot Listing
• Multiple Targets Listing
• Verbose Listing
Default Listing
If
swlist is invoked with no software_selections and no target_selections, a listing of all installed pro-
ducts on the local host is produced. This listing contains one line for each product. The line includes the
product tag attributes and all other attributes selected via the
one_liner option.
If target_selections (i.e. target hosts) are specified, this same format listing is produced for the installed
software at each of the specified hosts.
Software Listing
A listing of software objects is controlled by the specified software_selections, and also by the
-l option (
swlist.level=). swlist lists the contents of each software object specified in the
software_selections. For example, if you specify product selections, the subproducts and/or filesets con-
tained immediately below each product will be listed. If you specify fileset selections, the files contained in
each fileset will be listed.
The depth of objects listed is controlled with the -l option. This option can expand or restrict the depth in
concert with the specified software selections. By default, the contents of a specified software selection are
