• patch_one_liner=title patch_state
Specifies the attributes shown on the one-line display for each object
listed by swlist. Applies when the -l patch option is invoked and
when no -a or -v option is specified. The default display attributes
are title and patch_state.
Applies to swlist only.
• patch_save_files=true
Saves files to be patched before they are overwritten during an
installation. This permits future rollback of patches. When set to
false, patches cannot are automatically committed and can not be
rolled back (removed) unless the base (non-patch) software modified
by the patch is removed at the same time. The default value is true.
Applies to swinstall only.
• show_superseded_patches=false
Controls the swlist display of superseded patches. By default, swlist
will not display superseded patches, even if you explicitly list the
superseded patch. To view superseded patches, set this option to
true.
Applies to swlist.
