Packaging your software applications

Getting package information for a script

The two commands that can be used from your scripts to solicit information about a package are:

pkginfo(1): This command returns information about software packages, such as the instance identifier and package name.
pkparam(1): This command returns values for all parameters or only for the parameters specified.

The pkginfo(1) and pkgparam(1) manual pages give details for these tools.
