svccfg: Export service configurations to file.

svccfg

$ svccfg export ${servicename} > ${path-to-smf_file-xml}

try on your machine

This command is used in Solaris systems to export the configuration data of a specific service into an XML file.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

svccfg: This is the command-line tool used to manage service configurations in Solaris systems.
export: This is a subcommand of svccfg that exports the configuration data of a service.
${servicename}: This is a placeholder representing the name of the service you want to export its configuration data. You need to replace ${servicename} with the actual name of the service.
>: This is the output redirection symbol. It redirects the output of the command to a specified location instead of displaying it on the console.
${path-to-smf_file-xml}: This is a placeholder representing the desired path and filename for the exported XML file. You need to replace ${path-to-smf_file-xml} with the actual path and filename where you want the XML file to be saved.

Putting it all together, when you run this command with the appropriate values for ${servicename} and ${path-to-smf_file-xml}, the configuration data of the specified service will be exported as an XML file and saved at the specified location.
