The pkginfo command lists information about one or more packages installed on a Solaris system. It has a verbose setting to display detailed information about a package including the software version number, the number of files and space occupied on disk, and the date of install.

To show detailed information about a patch, invoke pkginfo with the -l (lower case L) switch:

pkginfo -l SUNWapchr
