Search files in the software list

You can search for a filename, or part of a filename, with this form.


If you were looking for a file that normallly had a full pathname of /opt/csw/bin/mutt, you could use "Exact match" in conjunction with either of :

  • /opt/csw/bin/mutt
  • mutt

If you forgot how to spell the file you are looking for, you should then use partial search on "mut". You could even search for "bin/mu"

If you wish to know which packages depend on a particular library, then doing an "Exact match" search for "libfoo.so.1" will give you a list. Note that it must be the exact name the package needs, so if you search for "libfoo.so.1.5", but a package only requires "libfoo.so.1", it will not be matched.

Search packages in the software list

If instead of searching for which package contains a filename, you wish to show all files contained in a particular package, you may use this search instead.
