User Commandspkgrecv(1)NAMEpkgrecv - image packaging system content retrieval utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/pkgrecv [-s src_uri] [-d (path|dest_uri)] [-c cache_dir]
[-kr] [-m match] (fmri|pattern) ...
/usr/bin/pkgrecv [-s src_uri] -n
DESCRIPTIONpkgrecv allows the user to retrieve the contents of a package
from a pkg(5) repository. With the default options, the contents
are retrieved in a format that can easily be input to pkgsend(1)
when used with the 'include' subcommand. As a result, pkgrecv(1)
and pkgsend(1) can be used to conveniently modify and republish
packages, perhaps by correcting file contents or providing
additional package tags.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c cache_dir The path to a directory that will be used to cache
downloaded content. If one is not supplied, the
client will automatically pick a cache directory.
In the case where a download is interrupted, and a
cache directory was automatically chosen, use this
option to resume the download.
-d path_or_uri The path of a directory to save the retrieved package
to, or the URI of a repository to republish it to. If
not provided, the default value is the current working
directory. If a directory path is provided, then
package content will only be retrieved if it does not
already exist in the target directory. If a repository
URI is provided, a temporary directory will be created
and all of the package data retrieved before attempting
to republish it.
-h Display usage message.
-k Keep the retrieved package content compressed, ignored
when republishing. Should not be used with pkgsend.
-m match Controls matching behavior using the following values:
all-timestamps
includes all matching timestamps, not just
latest (implies all-versions)
all-versions
includes all matching versions, not just latest
-n List the most recent versions of the packages available
from the specified repository and exit. (All other
options except -s will be ignored.)
-r Recursively retrieves all dependencies for the provided
list of packages.
-s src_repo_uri A URI representing the location of a pkg(5) repository
from which to receive package data.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: List newest packages available from the repository on
the system named 'test'.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test -n
pkg:/SUNWlibC@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T125720Z
pkg:/SUNWfreetype2@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T123955Z
pkg:/SUNWlibm@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T125728Z
pkg:/SUNWliboil@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T125730Z
Example 2: Receive the SUNWlibC, SUNWfreetype, and SUNWlibm
packages from example 1.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test SUNWlibC@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T125720Z
SUNWfreetype2@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T123955Z
SUNWlibm@0.5.11,5.11-0.79:20080221T125728Z
$ ls -d SUNW*
SUNWfreetype2 SUNWlibC SUNWlibm
Example 3: Receive the package "SUNWvim" and all of its dependencies
from the system named 'test'.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test -r SUNWvim
Example 4: Receive all versions of the package "SUNWvim" from the
system named 'test'.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test -m all-versions SUNWvim
Example 5: Receive all versions of the package "SUNWvim" from the
system named 'test' and republish it to a local repository.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test -d file:///local/repo SUNWvim
Example 6: Receive all versions of the package "SUNWzlib" from the
system named 'test' and republish it to a remote repository on the
system named 'remote'.
$ pkgrecv-s http://test -d http://remote:10000 SUNWzlib
Example 7: Receive the package "SUNWemacs" and all of its dependencies
from the repository located at '/var/pkg/repo'.
$ pkgrecv-s file:///var/pkg/repo -r SUNWemacs
