shared library comes with which package

How to know to which package the specified shared library belongs.

Sometimes it's required to know with which package particular shared library came.
There is a way to find this in solaris.

grep <> "/var/sadm/install/contents"


example to know with which package "libc.so" came

#grep libc.so /var/sadm/install/contents

Recursive grep in solaris

In solaris "grep" tool don't have option to grep the specified "pattern" recursively(not like linux) under current directory.
Generally "grep" tool grep the pattern in current directory only.

Workaround for this is:
Have to use "find" command to get the all the files and "piped" this data to grep command.
#find . -type f | xargs grep "pattern"
