How to display the maintenance level of a file or fileset

The lslpp command can be used to determine the maintenance level of a file or fileset.

The -w option shows which fileset owns a file.

lslpp -w /filepath

Once you know which fileset is the relevant one, you can find out what level it is at:

lslpp -f file.set.name | head -4
lslpp -l file.set.name
lslpp -la file.set.name
lslpp -ha file.set.name

-f shows the earliest level of the fileset, along with all of the files in it (unless the output is piped to head). -l shows the latest level of the fileset. -la shows all updates of the fileset and -ha shows the entire history of the fileset.
