showrev(1M) System Administration Commands showrev(1M)NAMEshowrev - show machine, software revision, and patch revision informa‐
tion
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/showrev [-a] [-p | -p-R root_path] [-w] [-c command]
[-s hostname]
DESCRIPTIONshowrev displays revision information for the current hardware and
software. With no arguments, showrev shows the system revision informa‐
tion including hostname, hostid, release, kernel architecture, applica‐
tion architecture, hardware provider, domain, and kernel version.
If a command is supplied with the -c option, showrev shows the PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and finds out all the directories within the PATH that
contain it. For each file found, its file type, revision, permissions,
library information, and checksum are printed as well.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Print all system revision information available. Window
system and patch information are added.
-c command Print the revision information about command.
-p Print only the revision information about patches.
-R root_path Define the full path name of a directory to use as the
root_path. By specifying the root path, showrev
retrieves the revision information about the patch from
package system information files located under a direc‐
tory tree starting at root_path. The root_path can be
specified when retrieving installed patch information
in a client from a server, for example,
/export/root/client1.
Note - The root file system of any non-global zones
must not be referenced with the -R option.
Doing so might damage the global zone's file
system, might compromise the security of the
global zone, and might damage the non-global
zone's file system. See zones(5).
-s hostname Perform this operation on the specified hostname. The
-s operation completes correctly only when hostname is
running Solaris 2.5 or compatible versions.
-w Print only the OpenWindows revision information.
