Listing Software Products (lslpp Command)

The lslpp command displays information about software products available for your system.

For example, to list all the software products in your system, at the system prompt, enter:

lslpp -l -a

Following is an example of the displayed list:

Name                  Fix Id  State     Description
--------------------  ------- --------  -----------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
  INed.obj                    APPLIED   INed Editor
  X11_3d.gl.dev.obj           APPLIED   AIXwindows/3D GL
                                        Development Utilities
Fonts
  X11fnt.oldX.fnt             APPLIED   AIXwindows Miscellaneous
                                        X Fonts
X11mEn_US.msg                 APPLIED   AIXwindows NL Message
                                        files

If the listing is very long, the top portion scrolls off the screen. To prevent this from happening, use the lslpp command piped to the pg command. At the prompt, enter:

lslpp | pg

See the lslpp command in the AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
