    pkgadd looks in /var/spool/pkg to check if a package is present or known. The -a option defines a custom administration file, giving the full path, otherwise it looks in the current directory or /var/sadm/install/admin. The -k option specifies a keystore location from which to get trusted certificates for verifying package signatures, using a default of /var/sadm/security if no location is provided. The -n option performs a non-interactive installation without output of installed file lists.

    pkgadd without -d

    Looks into /var/spool/pkg whether the package is


    present or know.
    #pkgadd -a admin

    ●Define an installation administration file, admin. to be used in place of the


    default administration file.

    Give full pathname or else it looks into current directory.


    ●

    If it is not there in current directory then it looks into /var/sadm/install/admin


    ●

    directory.
    #pkgadd -k keystore

    Use keystore as the location from which to


    get trusted certificate authority certificates,
    when verifying digital signatures found in
    packages.
    Keystore locations

    ➢ Package and patch tools such as pkgadd or patchadd use a set of trusted
    certificates to perform signature validation on any signatures found within the
    packages or patches.

    ➢ If -k keystore is specified, and keystore is a directory, then keystore is


    assumed to be the base directory of the certificates to be used.

    ➢ If keystore is a file, then the file itself is assumed to have all required keys
    and certificates.

    ➢ When -k is not specified, then /var/sadm/security is used as the base directory.


    #pkgadd -n

    Installation occurs in non-interactive mode.


    Suppress output of the list of installed
    files.The default mode is interactive.
