Hi all,

How (or where) can I get the list of softwares installed on my QNX box? I
need to do this programatically. Are there any interfaces for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could look at View my Software in pkg-installer. I believe it reads some file or parse the
directory under /pkgs. Might be, someone else knows some details?

The INSTALLED software is defined by all of the MANIFEST files under the
/pkgs directory. The currently ACTIVE software is defined by the
/etc/system/package/packages file.
