NAME
     pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
          [-r release] pkg [pkg ...]


DESCRIPTION
     The /usr/bin/pkg2du utility takes one or  more  packages  as
     input and converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the
     -d option is specified, the resulting DU directory  tree  is
     placed  in the directory dir. If the -o option is specified,
     a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory tree is  written  in
     the  file iso. The ISO image can be burned onto CD/DVD using
     cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS man page) and used  dur-
     ing Solaris installation.


     At least one of the -d and -o options must be specified.  If
     both  are  specified, then both an ISO image and a directory
     tree are generated.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -d dir

         Directory where the DU directory should be created.


     -o iso

         Create a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory.


     -f

         If dir/DU or iso exists, remove it without asking first.


     -l label

         Label/volume name of the ISO  image  (if  -o  option  is
         specified).


     -r release

         Solaris release number to use. It takes the form of  the
         return  from  uname  -r  command,  for example, 5.10. If
         unspecified, the release number of the currently running

       # /usr/bin/cdrw -i my.iso
