4.4.9 Verifying a Depot (swverify -d)
To can use the swverify command to verify the software within a depot. swverify performs these
tasks:
• Verifies that all dependencies (prerequisites or corequisites) can be met.
• Reports missing files.
• Checks file attributes, including permissions, file types, size, checksum, mtime, and major/minor
attributes.
For example, to verify the entire contents of a local depot:
swverify -d \* @ /var/spool/sw
NOTE: The swverify command does not execute vendor-supplied verification scripts within a
depot.
4.4.10 Removing Software from Depots
Invoking swremove with the -d option removes software from depots instead of root file systems.
This also means that you must specify a path to identify the depot from which you want to remove
the software. For example:
swremove -d Old-Software @ /var/spool/sw
For the swremove -d GUI, you are prompted to specify the depot by a dialog that appears after
you invoke the GUI. This is the same dialog used to specify a depot target for swcopy operations.
See “Step II: Specify Target” (page 87) for information about how to use this dialog.
4.4.11 Removing a Depot
To remove and automatically unregister a depot:
swremove -d \* @ /tmp/MyDepot
