SYNOPSIS

pkg info [-AbBDdefgiIklOqRrsx] pkg-name
pkg info [-AbBDdfIlqRrs] -F pkg-file

DESCRIPTION
pkg info is used for displaying information for packages.

OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg info:

-a  Display all installed packages.

-A  Display any annotations added to the package.

-f  Display full information about the packages matching pkg-name.

-R  Display the full yaml (raw) about the packages matching pkg-name.

-e  If pkg-name is installed and registered in the database, return 0, otherwise return 1. Useful for checking whether the package is installed.

-D  Show the pkg-message for matching packages.

-g  Treat pkg-name as a shell glob pattern.

-i  Make the default or the regular expression (-x) pkg-name matching case insensitive.

-x  Treat pkg-name as a regular expression according to the "modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).

-d  Display the list of packages on which pkg-name depends.

-r  Display the list of packages which require pkg-name.

-k  Show the locking status for pkg-name. When used in combination with -d or -r, indicate which packages, dependencies or requirements 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  Display all files installed by pkg-name.

-b  Display all shared libraries provided by pkg-name.

-B  Display all shared libraries used by pkg-name.

-s  Display the total size of files installed by pkg-name

-q  Be “quiet”. Prints only the requested information without displaying many hints.

-O  Search is done by the pkg-name origin. Added only for Ports compatibility.

-E  Currently not implemented. Added only for Ports compatibility.

-o  Display pkg-name origin.

-p  Display the installation prefix for each package matching pkg-name.

-F pkg-file
    Displays information from the package archive pkg-file.
