 e.g. pkgadd -a /var/adm/auto -d /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6
 options:
   -a specifies admin file other than default (/var/sadm/install/admin).
    This controls behaviour of package add, e.g. if you don't want to reply
    to questions, can be specified here.
   -d location of software to install
   -s instead of installing the software, copy to spool file specified e.g.
    if you want a copy on disk

 options:
   -d on device specified
   -l full listing
   -i fully installed packages only
   -p partially installed packages only
   -R from specified root path only

• pkgchk - check package

e.g. pkgchk -l -p full-path-name-of-file- will show which package a file belongs to
     pkgchk -l SMCpca - to list the files contained in a package

• pkgask - check for responses to scripts used during pkgadd
• pkgtrans - transfer from one media to another, e.g. disk to cd
