It's not even clear what is meant by "package name" -- is this the name of the package _file_ the user double-clicked on? This may have been renamed since it was built by the developer/manufacturer. And the file itself is often deleted after installation, so I'm not sure what having that name might buy you. As far as I am concerned, the packageid _is_ the name of the package. What is the problem you are trying to solve? -Greg On Feb 2, 2012, at 9:59 AM, Stephane Sudre wrote:

Hi,

Please let me know is there any command provided by Macintosh to give package name based on package id and vice versa. If i execute pkgutil --pkgs command, I get list of package ids.I want to get the name of package for this id. Even if i have a flat package in my directory, I want to know the package id that will be listed for this package, if i use pkgutil command.

Is there a single command for mapping package name and package id or vice versa.

Thanks

I don't think there is. The point of having an identifier is to be able to use a different name for the package. It's the primary key.

the -pkg-info option do not provide the name of the package. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
