NAME

pkginfo — display software package information

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

pkginfo is a package management utility, which displays information about software packages that are installed on the system or that reside in a particular directory.

The options are as follows:

-f file, --footprint=file

Print footprint for file.

This feature is mainly used by pkgmk(8) to create and compare package footprints.

-i, --installed

List installed packages and their version.

-l ⟨pkgname | file⟩, --list=⟨pkgname | file⟩

List files owned by the specified package or contained in file.

-o pattern, --owner=pattern

List owner(s) of file(s) matching pattern, where the pattern is a regex in regex(3) format.

-r rootdir, --root=rootdir

Specify an alternate root directory instead of the default ‘/’.

This should be used if you want to display information about a package that is installed on a temporary mounted partition, which is “owned” by another system. By using this option you specify which package database to use.

-V, --version

Print version and exit.

-h, --help

Print help and exit.

Note: Options -f/--footprint, -i/--installed, -l/--list, and -o/--owner are mutually exclusive.

FILES

/var/lib/pkg/db

Database of currently installed packages.

EXIT STATUS

The pkginfo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
