How to find files,directories,path,executables for packages

While this is no big deal for geeks lets help “not so geeks” with a way to find the files and path of installed package. Here, on Sun Solaris 10, I know I’ve installed wget package and don’t have a clue where the files have gone into. Let’s start with finding the package name. solaris10# pkginfo -l | grep wget PKGINST: SUNWwgetr NAME: GNU wget – utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web (root) DESC: GNU wget – a utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web (root components) 1.9.1 PKGINST: SUNWwgetu NAME: wget – GNU wget DESC: GNU wget – a utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web (Usr) 1.9.1 Now, that will help you find the package name. . # pkginfo -l SUNWwgetu PKGINST: SUNWwgetu NAME: wget – GNU wget CATEGORY: system ARCH: i386 VERSION: 11.10.0,REV=2005.01.08.01.09 BASEDIR: / VENDOR: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
