SYNOPSIS
target] {product|fileset}]
DESCRIPTION
The utility displays active and superseded patches in a formatted out‐
put, which may be easier to interpret than the output of the command
(see swlist(1M)). When listing the patches installed on a system, uses
the SD patch attributes and to determine which patches are active and
which are superseded.
Patches may require manual operations prior to or after installation.
The utility may be directed at the source depot to list "Special
Installation Instructions" and "Other Dependencies" documented within
the contained patches.
Options
If no options are specified, displays at the product level the active
patches on the local system.
The utility recognizes the following options:
Display the active patches on the system. Active patches are
those which have been installed but not superseded by newer
patches on the target.
Display the superseded patches on the system.
Superseded patches are those that have been superseded by
newer patches installed on the target.
Specify a target system or depot to analyze.
Defaults to local system.
Display any "Special Installation Instructions" associated with
any listed
patch. The "Special Installation Instructions" document
manual operations that may be required for successful
installation.
Display any "Other Dependencies" associated with any listed
patch.
These are optional or complex dependencies that may
require manual processing.
Do not list a patch unless it is displaying "Special Installa‐
tion Instructions"
or "Other Dependencies."
Display the patch information at the SD
product or fileset level.
Note: This option is ignored if the or options are
selected.

relationships are determined by the value of the attribute.
