NOTE
       The list and install major modes are not	 supported  in	this  release.
       Options, modes and behavior will change in future versions.  These com‐
       mands are provided for evaluation purposes only.

DESCRIPTION
       The Software Manager command provides a command-line interface(CLI) and
       Terminal	 User  Interface(TUI)  to  manage software (bundles, products,
       subproducts and filesets).  Users familiar with	SD  (swinstall,	 swre‐
       move,  etc)  will  notice that is a single command with major modes, as
       opposed to multiple commands.

       extends the functionality provided by SD, most notably it has the abil‐
       ity  to	update	from  one  operating  environment  to  another.	 sd(4)
       describes the SD software object classes,  their	 attributes,  and  the
       file formats used to store their definitions.

       The command has four major_modes of operation:

	      Installs software.  See swm-install(1M).
	      Lists software.  See swm-list(1M).
	      Provides	job  control  interface	 to  existing  jobs.  See swm-
	      job(1M).
	      Updates an operating environment (OE).  See swm-oeupdate(1M).

       The major_modes are similar to the following commands:

	      The   following
	      options	  are
	      recognized   by
	      most swm modes:

	      Displays	 the   usage
	      message.

	      Displays the available
			     attributes.

	      Displays	the  list of
	      possible
			     (extended)
			     options.

	      Launches	 interactive
	      user interface.
			     (Mutu‐
			     ally
			     exclu‐
			     sive
			     with

	      Sets   preview   mode.
	      (Mutually	   exclusive
	      with -i.)

	      The verbosity level is
	      decreased by  one	 for
	      each time
			     is
			     speci‐
			     fied.
			     (See
			     also
			     the
			     option).

	      The verbosity level is
	      increased	 by  one for
	      each time
			     is
			     speci‐
			     fied.
			     (See
			     also
			     the
			     option).

   Interactive Operation
       The  command  can  be  called
       with or without the option to
       invoke  the TUI.	 Major modes
       install, oeupdate and job can
       be  used	 with  no options or
       with the option to invoke the
       TUI  and	 skip its major mode
       selection  screen.   However,
       instead	of  bringing  up the
       TUI, the list major mode used
       without	the option will list
       the software installed on the
       system.

   RETURN VALUE
       The  major  modes  return the
       following values:

	      Success.
	      Error.
	      Warning.
