NAME
     pkg_search — print information about a package

SYNOPSIS
     pkg_search [-kv] package
     pkg_search -s package
     pkg_search -d

DESCRIPTION
     pkg_search queries the pkgsrc(7) index for a given package.  If the
     pkgsrc(7) index is not available pkg_search fetches the pkg_summary(5)
     file.  This file contains information about each package in a binary
     repository.

     The options are as follows:

     -d	     Download the pkg_summary(5) file.	It gets overwritten if it is
	     already installed.

     -k	     Also query the Info and WWW field.

     -s	     Show the description of a package.

     -v	     Print verbose information (Ports directory, URL, depencies)

EXAMPLES
     The following is an example of a typical usage of the pkg_search command:

	   pkg_search -v fvwm

SEE ALSO
