NAME
     pkgparam - displays package parameter values

SYNOPSIS
     pkgparam [-v][-d device] pkginst [param[ . . .]]
     pkgparam -f file [-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 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 and arguments for this command are:

     -v	     Specifies verbose mode.  Displays name of parameter and its
	     value.

     -d	     Specifies the device on which a pkginst is stored.	 It can be a
	     full pathname to a directory or the identifiers for tape, floppy
	     disk or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp, /dev/dsk/f0t, and
	     /dev/dsk/0s2).  The default device is the installation spool
	     directory.	 If no instance name is given, parameter information
	     for all packages residing in device is shown.

     -f	     Requests that the command read file for parameter values.

     pkginst Defines a specific package instance for which parameter values
	     should be displayed.  The format pkginst.* can be used to
	     indicate all instances of a package.  When using this format,
	     enclose the command line in single quotes to prevent the shell
	     from interpreting the * character.

     param   Defines a specific parameter whose value should be displayed.

ERRORS
     If parameter information is not available for the indicated package, the
     command exits with a non-zero status.

NOTES
     The -f synopsis allows you to specify the file from which parameter
     values should be extracted.  This file should be in the same format as a
     pkginfo file.  As an example, such a file might be created during package
     development and used while testing software during this stage.
