SYNOPSIS
pkg fetch [-r reponame] [-dqUy] [-Cgix] pkg-name [...]
pkg fetch [-r reponame] [-o destdir] [-dqUy] -a
pkg fetch [-r reponame] [-dqUy] -u
pkg fetch [--repository reponame] [--output destdir]
[--{dependencies,quiet,no-repo-update,yes}]
[--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pkg-name [...]
pkg fetch [--repository reponame]
[--{dependencies,quiet,no-repo-update,yes}] --all
pkg fetch [--repository reponame]
[--{dependencies,quiet,no-repo-update,yes}] --available-updates
DESCRIPTION
pkg fetch is used to download binary packages from a remote repository.
One or more packages, or patterns can be specified.
Package repository catalogues will be automatically updated whenever pkg
fetch is run by a user ID with write access to the package database,
unless disabled by the -U flag or setting REPO_AUTOUPDATE to NO in
pkg.conf(5).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg fetch:
-a, --all Fetch all packages.
-o destdir, --output destdir
Place files in a sub-directory called All of the specified
directory. In this mode, packages are fetched for distri‐
bution instead of placing them into the internal cache.
-C, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching
against pkg-name case sensitive.
-d, --dependencies
Fetch the package and its dependencies as well.
-g, --glob Treat pkg-name as a shell glob pattern.
-i, --case-insensitive
Make the standard or regular expression (-x) matching
against pkg-name case insensitive. This is the default,
unless modified by setting CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH to true in
pkg.conf.
-q, --quiet Quiet mode. Show less output.
-r reponame, --repository reponame
Fetches packages from the given reponame if multiple repo
support is enabled. See pkg.conf(5).
-u, --available-updates
Fetch all available updates for the currently installed
packages.
-U, --no-repo-update
Suppress the automatic update of the local copy of the
repository catalogue from remote. Automatic repository
catalogue updates are only attempted when the effective UID
of the process has write access to the package database.
Otherwise they are silently ignored.
-x, --regex Treat pkg-name as a regular expression according to the
"modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).
-y, --yes Assume yes when asked for confirmation before fetching
packages.

The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg fetch:
PKG_DBDIR

iour.
