NAME
contents - list of files and associated packages
SYNOPSIS
/var/sadm/install/contents
DESCRIPTION
The file /var/sadm/install/contents is a source of informa-
tion about the packages installed on the system. This file
must never be edited directly. Always use the package and
patch commands (see SEE ALSO) to make changes to the con-
tents file.
Each entry in the contents file is a single line. Fields in
each entry are separated by a single space character.
Two major styles of entries exist, old style and new style.
The following is the format of an old-style entry:
ftype class path package(s)
The following is the general format of a new-style entry:
path[=rpath] ftype class [ftype-optional-fields] package(s)
New-style entries differ for each ftype. The ftype desig-
nates the entry type, as specified in pkgmap(4). The format
for new-style entries, for each ftype, is as follows:
ftype s: path=rpath s class package
ftype l: path l class package
ftype d: path d class mode owner group package(s)
ftype b: path b class major minor mode owner group package
ftype c: path c class major minor mode owner group package
ftype f: path f class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
ftype x: path x class mode owner group package
ftype v: path v class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
ftype e: path e class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
A significant distinction between old- and new-style entries
is that the former do not begin with a slash (/) character,
while the latter (new-style) always do. For example, the
following are new-style entries:
d none /dev SUNWcsd
e passwd /etc/passwd SUNWcsr

The following are new-style entries:
/dev d none 0755 root sys SUNWcsr SUNWcsd
/etc/passwd e passwd 0644 root sys 580 48299 1077177419 SUNWcsr
The following are the descriptions of the fields in both
old- and new-style entries.
path
The absolute path of the node being described. For ftype
s (indicating a symbolic link) this is the indirect
pointer (link) name.
rpath
The relative path to the real file or linked-to direc-
tory name.
ftype
A one-character field that indicates the entry type (see
pkgmap(4)).
class
The installation class to which the file belongs (see
pkgmap(4)).
package
The package associated with this entry. For ftype d
(directory) more than one package can be present.
mode
The octal mode of the file (see pkgmap(4)).

NOTES
As shown above, the interface stability of
/var/sadm/install/contents is Unstable (see attributes(5)).
It is common practice to use this file in a read-only manner
to determine which files belong to which packages installed
on a system. While this file has been present for many
releases of the Solaris operating system, it might not be
present in future releases. The fully supported way to
obtain information from the installed package database is
through pkgchk(1M). It is highly recommended that you use
pkgchk rather than relying on the contents file.
