The browse subcommand to the prodreg command displays the following information about registered software.
BROWSE # | When you use the prodreg browse command, the Solaris Product Registry generates a browse number for each registered software component. This number can be used as an argument to either the prodreg browse command or the info subcommand to descend the hierarchy of specific registered components. Note - Browse numbers might change when you reboot or reinstall your system. Do not store browse numbers in scripts or attempt to reuse them between separate login sessions. |
+/-/. | This field indicates if a software component has additional software component children registered in the Solaris Product Registry. The following characters are displayed in this field.
|
UUID | This field lists the software's unique identifier in the Solaris Product Registry. |
# | This field indicates the instance number of the software component on the system. If the system contains multiple instances of a software component, the Solaris Product Registry assigns a separate instance number to each instance of the component. |
NAME | This field lists the localized name of the software. The name of the Solaris operating system in this sample output is the Solaris 9 4/03 release. |
Browse the information for one of the software components that are listed in the Solaris Product Registry.
% prodreg browse -m "name" |
| -m "name" | Displays information on the software component with the name name |
If the system contains multiple instances of name software, type the following command to browse the Solaris Product Registry.
% prodreg browse -u name-UUID -i instance |
| -u name-UUID | Displays information on the name software component with the unique identifier name-UUID |
| -i instance | Displays information on name software component with the instance number instance |
Repeat Step 3 for each software component you want to browse.
