NAME
       show_patches - HP-UX patch display utility

SYNOPSIS
       target] {product|fileset}]

DESCRIPTION
       The  utility displays active and superseded patches in a formatted out‐
       put, which may be easier to interpret than the output  of  the  command
       (see swlist(1M)).  When listing the patches installed on a system, uses
       the SD patch attributes and to determine which patches are  active  and
       which are superseded.

       Patches	may  require manual operations prior to or after installation.
       The utility may be directed  at	the  source  depot  to	list  "Special
       Installation  Instructions"  and "Other Dependencies" documented within
       the contained patches.

   Options
       If no options are specified, displays at the product level  the	active
       patches on the local system.

       The utility recognizes the following options:
	      Display  the  active  patches on the system.  Active patches are
	      those which have been installed  but  not	 superseded  by	 newer
	      patches on the target.

	      Display the superseded patches on the system.
		     Superseded patches are those that have been superseded by
		     newer patches installed on the target.

	      Specify a target system or depot to analyze.
		     Defaults to local system.

	      Display any "Special Installation Instructions" associated  with
	      any listed
		     patch.   The "Special Installation Instructions" document
		     manual operations that may	 be  required  for  successful
		     installation.

	      Display  any  "Other  Dependencies"  associated  with any listed
	      patch.
		     These are	optional  or  complex  dependencies  that  may
		     require manual processing.

	      Do  not  list a patch unless it is displaying "Special Installa‐
	      tion Instructions"
		     or "Other Dependencies."

	      Display the patch information at the SD
		     product or fileset level.

		     Note: This option	is  ignored  if	 the  or  options  are
		     selected.

   Note
       When  the target is a depot, the and attributes are not defined and all
       relationships are determined by the value of the attribute.
