swinstall and how to find package name associated with a file

martin_215 — Wed, 02 Feb 2005 18:10:11 GMT

how can i use sd-ux commands to find what package a file is associated with
for instance by mistake i deleted /etc/shutdown or some /usr/lib/xxx file
how do I find the name of the package where this file belongs ,so that I can reinstall the package and get this file back in

I know I can copy this file from someother running machine.But i really like to know what sd-ux command options I can use to find this

I don't think they come from a depot. They come from core OS, but its probably okay to copy them in from another working system.
