rpm details wanted for Solaris

Hi All,

I have rpm file for solaris.But when I do man rpm it says no manual entry.So how do I extract the package from the RPM file? Is there any rpm equivalent command in Solaris?My Solaris version is 5.9.Do I need to install relevant package for that?

Looking forward for your response

Solaris does not ship with RPM support, and most software for it is distributed in SVR4 pkg format, not RPM.

However, it's certainly possible to use RPM binaries and create a separate RPM repository. For a site that wants to manage all software with RPM, it could be useful.

You'll need to compile or obtain rpm binaries separately though.
