pkg info --all

pkg info [--{annotations,provided-shlibs,required-shlibs}] [--{pkg-message,dependencies,exists,full,comment,locked}] [--{list-files,by-origin,quiet,prefix,raw,required-by,size}] [--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pkg-name

pkg info [--{annotations,provided-shlibs,required-shlibs}] [--{pkg-message,dependencies,full,comment,list-files}] [--{quiet,prefix,raw,required-by,size}] --file pkg-file [--raw-format format]

pkg info is used for displaying information for packages.

The following options are supported by pkg info:
, --all
Display all installed packages.
, --annotations
Display any annotations added to the package.
, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching against pkg-name case sensitive.
, --full
Display full information about the packages matching pkg-name. This is the default.
, --raw
Display the full manifest (raw) for the packages matching pkg-name.
format
Choose the format of the raw output. The format can be: ucl (default), json, json-compact, yaml.
, --exists
If pkg-name is installed and registered in the database, return 0, otherwise return 1. Useful for checking whether the package is installed.
, --pkg-message
Show the pkg-message for matching packages.
, --glob
Treat pkg-name as a shell glob pattern.
, --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.
, --comment
Display the specified packages and their comments.
, --regex
Treat pkg-name as a regular expression according to the "modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).
, --dependencies
Display the list of packages on which pkg-name depends.
, --required-by
Display the list of packages which require pkg-name.
, --locked
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.
, --list-files
Display all files installed by pkg-name.
, --provided-shlibs
Display all shared libraries provided by pkg-name.
, --required-shlibs
Display all shared libraries used by pkg-name.
, --size
Display the total size of files installed by pkg-name.
, --quiet
Be “quiet”. Prints only the requested information without displaying many hints.
, --by-origin
Search is done by the pkg-name origin. Added only for Ports compatibility.
, --show-name-only
Hides the full package output and only shows the package name. This option is deprecated and exists only for Ports compatibility.
, --origin
Display pkg-name origin.
, --prefix
Display the installation prefix for each package matching pkg-name.
pkg-file, --file pkg-file
Displays information from the package archive pkg-file.
