By default, the pkg info command only lists information about installed packages on the system; however, we can use a similar command to look up information about uninstalled packages, as shown in here: Example: Listing Information About an Uninstalled Package # pkg info -r php-52 Name: web/php-52 Summary: PHP Server 5.2 Description: PHP Server 5.2 Category: Development/PHP State: Not Installed Publisher: solaris Version: 5.2.17
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.175.0.0.0.1.530
Packaging Date: Wed Oct 12 14:01:41 2011

FMRI: pkg://solaris/web/[email protected],5.11-0.175.0.0.0.1.530:20111012T140141Z
Note: pkg info command displays information about packages in a human-readable form.
Multiple FMRI patterns may be specified; with no patterns,
display information on all installed packages in the image.
With -l, use the data available from locally installed packages.
This is the default.
With -r, retrieve the data from the repositories of the image's
configured publishers. Note that you must specify one or more
package patterns in this case.
Reference: man pkg

Unlike DOS, which uses the file extension to determine if a file is executable or not,
UNIX relies on file permissions.
The value assigned by umask is subtracted from the default.
User's file creation mask. umask sets an environment variable which automatically sets file
permissions on newly created files. i.e. it will set the shell process's file creation mask to mode.
umask 000 would grant full permissions.
Note: 777 full permissions

Note: # route -p add -host destination-IP gateway-IP -static where destination-IP and gateway-IP are IPv4 addresses of the host to be used as a target.
For example,you would type the following to specify the target system 192.168.10.137,which is on the same subnet as the interfaces in IPMP group itops0:
$ route -p add -host 192.168.10.137 192.168.10.137 -static This new route will be automatically configured every time the system is restarted. If you want to define only a temporary route to a target system for probe-based failure detection,then do not use the -p option.

Explanation/Reference:

'ipadm show-addr' displays all the configured addresses on the system.
Example:
# ipadm show-addr
