The pkgadd command transfers a software package to the voice system.
Synopsis
pkgadd [-n] [-d device] [[-M] -R host_path] [-V fs_file][-a admin_file][-r response] [-v] [pkg [pkg ...]]
pkgadd -s dir [-d device] [pkg [pkg ...]]
Description
The pkgadd command transfers the contents of a software package from the distribution medium or directory to the system. Used without the -d option, pkgadd looks in the default spool directory for the package ( /var/spool/pkg ). Used with the -s option, it reads the package to a spool directory instead of installing it.
When executed without options, pkgadd uses /var/spool/pkg (the default spool directory).
Note:
When transferring a package to a spool directory, the -r, -n, and -a options cannot be used.
The pkgadd command has the parameters described in the following table:
Parameter |
Description |
Comments |
-a |
Define an installation administration file, admin, to be used in place of the default administration file |
The token none overrides the use of any admin file, and thus forces interaction with the user. Unless a full path name is given, pkgadd looks in the current directory for the file, and looks in the /var/sadm/install/admin directory. |
-d |
Install or copy a package from device |
Device can be a full path name to a directory or the identifiers for peripherals. It can also be a device alias (for example, /floppy/floppy0). |
-n |
Installation occurs in non-interactive mode |
The default mode is interactive. The -n option causes the installation to halt if any interaction is needed to complete it. |
-r |
Identify a file or directory that contains output from a previous pkgask session |
This file supplies the interaction responses that are requested by the package in interactive mode. Response must be a full pathname. The -r option can be used to indicate a directory name as well as a filename. |
-R |
Define the full path name of a subdirectory to use as the rootpath |
All files, including package system information files, are relocated to a directory tree, starting in the specified rootpath. |
-s |
Write the package into the directory spool instead of installing it |
