pkginfo: List files owned by a package.
$ pkginfo -l ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "pkginfo -l ${package_name}" is used to gather information about a specific package in a Solaris operating system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "pkginfo": This is the main command used to obtain package information in Solaris.
  • "-l": This option is used to provide additional information, such as the package's dependencies, locations, and other details.
  • "${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to retrieve information about. You need to replace it with the specific name of the package you're interested in.

By executing this command with a specific package name, you will receive a detailed list of information about that package, including its version, release date, size, description, dependencies, installation locations, and other relevant data.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
