software descriptions:
• Open Item opens an item. (Same as double-clicking on the item.)
• Close Level closes the current level. (Same as double-clicking on ..(go up).
• Change Target opens a dialog box that lets you enter a path to select an alternate root (for
swlist -i) or alternate depot (for swlist -i -d).
• Show Logfile displays the system logfile.
• Show Audit Log displays software depot audit information stored in the audit log (for swlist
-i -d only). See “Source Depot Auditing” (page 101) for more information.

3.1.3 Using the Command Line
Syntax
swlist [-d|-r] [-i] [-R] [-v] [-a attribute] [-c catalog]
[-C session_file] [-f software_file] [-l level] [-s source]
[-S session_file] [-t target_file] [-x option=value]
[-X option_file] [software_selections] [@ target_selections]
Options and Operands
-d List products available from a depot. See “Listing the Contents of a
Depot (swlist -d) ” (page 100).
-i Start the GUI. (See “Using the swlist GUI” (page 63).)
-r List products on an alternate root (instead of /).
-R Shorthand for -l bundle -l product -l subproduct -l
fileset
-a attribute Displays a specific attribute. To display multiple attributes, specify
multiple -aoptions. To list the full set of attributes for a software
object, use the -v option. Note that the tag attribute is always
displayed for products, subproducts, and filesets. The path (filename)
attribute is always displayed for file objects. This option does not
apply if you use the -c option.
-v List all attributes for an object if no -a option is specified.
(Vendor-defined attributes are not included.) The output lists one
attribute per line in the format:
attribute_name attribute_value
-c catalog Writes full catalog structure information into the directory specified
by catalog. You can use this information for distributions and to
list installed software catalog information. All attributes down to the
file level and control scripts are written. If you use this option, the
-a and -l options do not apply. See “Requesting User Responses
(swask)” (page 227).
-C session_file Run the command and save the current option and operand values
to a session_file for re-use in another session. See “Session Files”
(page 39).
-f software_file Read a list of software selections from a separate file instead of (or
in addition to) the command line. See “Software Files” (page 36).
