NAME
     pkgparam - display package parameter values

SYNOPSIS
     pkgparam [-v] [-d device] [-R root_path] pkginst [param]...


     pkgparam -f filename [-v] [param]...


DESCRIPTION
     pkgparam displays the value associated with the parameter or
     parameters  requested  on  the  command line. The values are
     located in either the pkginfo(4) file for  pkginst  or  from
     the specific file named with the -f option.


     One parameter value is shown per line. Only the value  of  a
     parameter  is  given unless the -v option is used. With this
     option, the output of the command is in this format:

       parameter1='value1'
       parameter2='value2'
       parameter3='value3'




     If no parameters are specified on the command  line,  values
     for all parameters associated with the package are shown.

OPTIONS
     Options and arguments for this command are:

     -d device       Specify the device on  which  a  pkginst  is
                     stored.  It  can  be a directory pathname or
                     the identifiers for tape,  floppy  disk,  or
                     removable   disk   (for  example,  /var/tmp,
                     /dev/diskette,  and  /dev/dsk/c1d0s0).   The
                     special token spool may be used to represent
                     the  default  installation  spool  directory
                     (/var/spool/pkg).


     -f filename     Read filename for parameter values.


     -R root_path    Defines the full path name of a subdirectory
                     to  use as the root_path. All files, includ-
                     ing package system  information  files,  are
                     relocated  to  a  directory tree starting in
                     the specified root_path.

NOTES
     With the -f option, you can  specify  the  file  from  which
     parameter values should be extracted. This file should be in
     the same  format as a pkginfo(4) file. For example,  such  a
     file  might  be  created during package development and used
     while testing software during this stage.

User Commands                                         pkgparam(1)



     Package commands are largefile(5)-aware. They  handle  files
     larger  than 2 GB in the same way they handle smaller files.
     In their current  implementations,  pkgadd(1M),  pkgtrans(1)
     and  other  package commands can process a datastream of  up
     to 4 GB.
