TIP: Use the mod_time as a convenient sort field (a single integer), and use mod_date to
include human-readable output. (Place mod_time at the end of the display where it’s less visible.)
Listing the Contents of a Depot (swlist -d)
With swlist you can list all software that is packaged, stored, and ready to be installed.
The swlist -d option lets you list software residing on the default depot on your local host. For
browsing any depot in the GUI, you can use swlist -i -d. You can also view the associated
session and audit log files.
NOTE: By default the output of swlist will reflect the POSIX format for attributes. This may
affect users who parse this output.
In the following examples, swlist output requests are sent to standard output. All examples
assume the one_liner option is revision size title and the level option is product
or undefined.

Source Depot Auditing
If both the source and target systems are 10.30 or later versions of HP-UX, you can use swlist
to audit the depot. The system administrator at the source depot machine can turn the audit
functionality on or off. This feature tracks users and their software selections. In addition, you can
determine when depots are being used.
As the administrator, you must set to true the value of swagent.source_depot_audit in the
/var/adm/sw/defaults file for swagent. This creates a swaudit.log file on the source depot
(for writable directory depots) or in /var/tmp(for tar image, CD-ROM, or other non-writable
depots). This works like swagent.logfor source depot.
