Solaris 11 pkginfo vs pkg info

What is the difference between pkginfo and pkg info (on Solaris 11)? Why pkginfo does not list packages such as developer/gcc-45, system/header and pkg info does not list packages from OpenCSW? Is there a unified way to show info about all the packages installed in the system?

pkginfo is for SVR4 legacy packages while pkg info is for IPS packages.

Some IPS packages do provide a SVR4 equivalence but you can't have a SVR4 package providing IPS information.

I'm afraid you have to consolidate both output yourself.
