Parameters for each installed package are maintained on your system. Each parameter can be individually retrieved if you know the parameter name and the package name.
The long output of pkginfo shows many of the available parameter names you can use to get information about a package.
See pkginfo(4) for complete details on the parameters.
To display the value of only one parameter of a package,
enter:
pkgparam -v pkginst param
where pkginst is the package identifier and param is the name of the parameter to display. param must match the parameter definition; in most cases, this means it must be entered in all uppercase.
To name multiple parameters when executing pkgparam(1), separate each by white space. The -v option requests the verbose format, which shows the parameter name and its value.
For example, to display the value of the NAME parameter in the ``lp'' package, enter pkgparam -v lp NAME. The output looks like this:
NAME='Printer Support'
