DESCRIPTION

The get_depend_info command prints dependency information about a package, a file, or a set of files on the standard output.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-cons
Turns on conservative mode, that is, refrains from using /usr/bin/strings.

-dbdir
Specifies the directory in which the Perl DBM databases generated by make_pkg_db(1ONBLD) are located.

-f
Outputs file dependencies only.

-h
Displays help.

-p
Outputs package dependencies only.

-pkg
Specifies a particular package on which you want to run the dependency analysis. You must specify this option if you specify either a Sun software package or a third-party software package that conforms with the Sun package format ( SUN_package).

-root
Specifies an alternate root. You must also use the -pkg option if you use this option.

-s
Outputs symbolic links for files or packages only.

OPERANDS

The following operands are supported:

dbm_database_pathname
Specifies the path name of the directory in which the Perl DBM databases generated by make_pkg_db are located.

filename
Specifies the name of a file or files on which you want to run the dependency analysis.

root_pathname
Specifies the path name of an alternate root you want to use.

SUN_package
Specifies the name of a particular Sun software package (or any third-party software package that conforms with the Sun package format) on which you want to run the dependency analysis. You must use the - pkg option if you specify this operand.

You can specify either a Sun software package or a file name, but not both.
