AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference, Volume 3
lslpp Command
Purpose
Lists software products.
lslpp { -d | -f | -h | -i | -l | -L | -p } ]
[ -a ] [ -c ] [ -J ] [ -q ] [ | -I ]
[ -O { [ r ] [ s ] [ u ] } ] [ FilesetName ... |
FixID ... | all ]
OR
lslpp -w [ -c ] [ -q ] [ -O { [ r ] [ s ] [ u ] } ] [ FileName ... | all ]
Description
The lslpp command displays information about
installed filesets or fileset updates. The FilesetName parameter is the name of a
software
product.
The FixID (also known as PTF or program temporary fix ID) parameter specifies the
identifier of an update to an AIX 3.2 formatted fileset.
When only the -l (lowercase L) flag is
entered, the lslpp command displays the latest installed level of the fileset
specified for AIX 3.1 and 4 formatted filesets. The base level fileset is displayed
for AIX 3.2 formatted filesets. When the -a flag is entered along with the
-l flag, the lslpp command displays information about all installed filesets
for the FilesetName specified. The -I (uppercase i) flag combined with
the -l (lowercase L) flag specifies that the output from the lslpp
command should be limited to base level filesets.
The -d, -f, -h, -i, -l (lowercase L), -L, and -p flags request different types of output
reports.
The -a, -c, -J, -O, and
-q flags specify the amount and format of the information that is displayed in the
report.
The default value for the FilesetName parameter is
all, which displays information about all installed software products. Pattern
matching characters, such as * (asterisk) and ? (question mark), are valid in the
ProductName and FixID parameters. You don't have to enclose these characters
in '' (single quotes). However, using single quotes prevents you from searching the contents
of your present directory.
Output Values
Much of the output from the lslpp command is
understandable without an explanation. Other fields contain data that needs to be defined.
The following sections define terms used in several of the output fields.
State Values
The state
field in the lslpp output
gives the state of the fileset on your system. It can have the following values:
State |
Definition |
APPLIED |
The specified fileset is installed on the system. The APPLIED state means
that the fileset can be rejected with the installp command and the previous level of
the fileset restored. This state is only valid for Version 4 fileset updates and 3.2
migrated filesets. |
APPLYING |
An attempt was made to apply the specified fileset, but it did not complete
successfully, and cleanup was not performed. |
BROKEN |
The specified fileset or fileset update is broken and should be reinstalled
before being used. |
COMMITTED |
The specified fileset is installed on the system. The COMMITTED state
means that a commitment has been made to this level of the software. A committed fileset
update cannot be rejected, but a committed fileset base level and its updates (regardless of
state) can be removed or deinstalled by the installp command. |
OBSOLETE |
The specified fileset was installed with an earlier version of AIX, (for
example, 3.2) but has been replaced by a repackaged (renamed) newer version. Some of the
files that belonged to this fileset have been replaced by versions from the repackaged
fileset. |
COMMITTING |
An attempt was made to commit the specified fileset, but it did not complete
successfully, and cleanup was not performed. |
REJECTING |
An attempt was made to reject the specified fileset, but it did not complete
successfully, and cleanup was not performed. |
Action Values
The action
field in the lslpp
output identifies the installation action that was taken for the fileset. The following
values may be found in this field:
Action |
Definition |
APPLY |
An attempt was made to apply the specified fileset. |
CLEANUP |
An attempt was made to perform cleanup for the specified fileset. |
COMMIT |
An attempt was made to commit the specified fileset. |
REJECT |
An attempt was made to reject the specified fileset. |
Status Values
The status
field in the lslpp
output identifies the resultant status in the history of installation actions. The following
values may be found in this field:
Status |
Definition |
BROKEN |
The fileset was left in a broken state after the specified action. |
CANCELED |
The specified action was canceled before it completed. |
COMPLETE |
The commitment of the fileset has completed successfully. |
NONE |
This fileset update has not been installed but a superseding update has
(applicable to AIX 3.2 formatted fileset updates only). |
Flags
-a |
Displays all the information about filesets specified when combined with
other flags. This flag shows all updates when combined with the -l flag and all
history when combined with the -h flag. This flag cannot be specified with the
-f flag. |
-c |
Displays information as a list separated by colons. This flag cannot be specified
with the -J flag. |
-d |
Displays filesets that are dependents of the specified
software.
A dependent fileset is one that has the specified software as a prerequisite, corequisite,
ifrequisite, or installed requisite. |
-f |
Displays the names of the files added to the system during installation of the
specified
fileset.
This flag cannot be specified with the -a flag. |
-h |
Displays the installation and update history information for the specified
fileset. You cannot use this flag with the -J flag. |
-I |
(uppercase i)Limits the inputs to software products. |
-i |
Displays the product information for the specified
fileset. |
-J |
Generates output in a form suitable for the System Management Interface Tool
(SMIT) command to list output. This flag can only be specified with the -l (lowercase
L) and -L flags. |
-l |
(lowercase L) Displays the name, most recent level, state, and description
of the specified
fileset. |
-L |
Displays the name, most recent level, state, and description of the specified
fileset. Part information (usr, root, and share) is consolidated into
the same listing. For AIX 3.2 formatted filesets, displays the most recent
maintenance level for the specified filesets. In addition, this flag lists any subsystem
selective fixes that were installed on top of the maintenance level. |
-O |
Lists information for the specified part of the fileset. When the -O flag
is not specified information is listed for all parts. This option is designed for use by the
nim command to list software product information for diskless or dataless
workstations. You can use the following flags with this flag:
-r |
Indicates to list information for the root part. |
-s |
Indicates to list information for the /usr/share part. |
-u |
Indicates to list information for the /usr part. |
|
-p |
Displays requisite information for the specified fileset. |
-q |
Suppresses the display of column headings. |
-w |
Lists fileset that owns this file. This flag applies to AIX Version 4.2 or
later. |
You must specify one of the mutually exclusive flags:
-d, -f, -h, -i, -L, -l, -p, and -w.
