DESCRIPTION
pkg info is used for displaying information for packages.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg info:
-a, --all
Display all installed packages.
-A, --annotations
Display any annotations added to the package.
-C, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching against
pkg-name case sensitive.
-f, --full
Display full information about the packages matching pkg-name.
This is the default.
-R, --raw
Display the full manifest (raw) for the packages matching
pkg-name.
--raw-format format
Choose the format of the raw output. The format can be: json,
json-compact, yaml (default).
-e, --exists
If pkg-name is installed and registered in the database, return
0, otherwise return 1. Useful for checking whether the package
is installed.
-D, --pkg-message
Show the pkg-message for matching packages.
-g, --glob
Treat pkg-name as a shell glob pattern.
-i, --case-insensitive
Make the standard or the 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.
-I, --comment
Display the specified packages and their comments.
-x, --regex
Treat pkg-name as a regular expression according to the "modern"
or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).
-d, --dependencies
Display the list of packages on which pkg-name depends.
-r, --required-by
Display the list of packages which require pkg-name.
-k, --locked
Show the locking status for pkg-name. When used in combination
with -d or -r, indicate which packages, dependencies or require‐
ments are locked by '(*)'. Locking status is only meaningful for
installed packages; all locking statuses will show as unlocked
when information about a pkg-file is queried.
-l, --list-files
Display all files installed by pkg-name.
-b, --provided-shlibs
Display all shared libraries provided by pkg-name.
-B, --required-shlibs
Display all shared libraries used by pkg-name.
-s, --size
Display the total size of files installed by pkg-name.
-q, --quiet
Be “quiet”. Prints only the requested information without dis‐
playing many hints.
-O, --by-origin
Search is done by the pkg-name origin. Added only for Ports com‐
patibility.
-E, --show-name-only
Hides the full package output and only shows the package name.
This option is deprecated and exists only for Ports compatibil‐
ity.
-o, --origin
Display pkg-name origin.
-p, --prefix
Display the installation prefix for each package matching
pkg-name.
-F pkg-file, --file pkg-file
Displays information from the package archive pkg-file.
