NAME
       pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
	    [-r release] pkg [pkg ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  /usr/bin/pkg2du  utility  takes  one or more packages as input and
       converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the -d option is	speci‐
       fied,  the  resulting DU directory tree is placed in the directory dir.
       If the -o option is specified, a Solaris ISO image of the DU  directory
       tree  is	 written  in  the  file	 iso. The ISO image can be burned onto
       CD/DVD using cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS	 man  page)  and  used
       during Solaris installation.

       At  least  one  of the -d and -o options must be specified. If both are
       specified, then both an ISO image and a directory tree are generated.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -d dir

	   Directory where the DU directory should be created.

       -o iso

	   Create a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory.

       -f

	   If dir/DU or iso exists, remove it without asking first.

       -l label

	   Label/volume name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified).

       -r release

	   Solaris release number to use. It takes the form of the return from
	   uname  -r  command,	for example, 5.10. If unspecified, the release
	   number of the currently running Solaris is used.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       pkg [pkg...]

	   One or more packages to be converted to DU format.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Creating a DU CD/DVD

       The following commands create a DU CD or DVD containing	packages  SUN‐
       Wfoo and SUNWbar.

	 # /usr/bin/pkg2du -r 5.10 -o my.iso SUNWfoo SUNWbar
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i my.iso
