.Op Fl s Ar sfx_pattern
.Ar command Op args ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This command performs various administrative tasks around the
.Nx
Packages System.
.Sh OPTIONS
The following command-line options are supported:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl b
Print only the base names when matching package names for
.Cm lsall
and
.Cm lsbest .
.It Fl C Ar config
Read the configuration file from
.Ar config
instead of the system default.
.It Fl d Ar lsdir
Set
.Ar lsdir
as the path to the directory in which to find matching package names for
.Cm lsall
and
.Cm lsbest .
.It Fl K Ar pkg_dbdir
Override the value of the
.Dv PKG_DBDIR
configuration option with the value
.Ar pkg_dbdir .
.It Fl q
Perform checks in a quiet manner.
In normal operation,
.Nm
prints a
.Sq \&.
to standard output to indicate progress.
This option suppresses this progress indicator.
.It Fl S
Set the shell glob pattern for package suffixes when matching package
names for
.Cm lsall
and
.Cm lsbest
to be the null suffix.
.It Fl s Ar sfx_pattern
Set the shell glob pattern for package suffixes when matching package
names for
.Cm lsall
and
.Cm lsbest .
The default pattern is ".t[bg]z".
.It Fl V
Print version number and exit.
.It Fl v
Be more verbose.
.El
.Pp
The following commands are supported:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm audit Oo Fl eis Oc Oo Fl t Ar type Oc Oo Ar pkg Oc ...
Check the listed installed packages for vulnerabilities.
If no package is given, check all installed packages.
If
.Fl e
is given, override the
.Dv CHECK_END_OF_LIFE
option from
.Xr pkg_install.conf 5
with
.Qq Li yes .
If
.Fl i
is given,
any advisory ignored by
.Dv IGNORE_URL
in
.Xr pkg_install.conf 5
is included but flagged as
.Qq ignored .
If
.Fl s
is given, check the signature of the pkg-vulnerabilities file before using it.
.Fl t
restricts the reported vulnerabilities to type
.Ar type .
.It Cm audit-pkg Oo Fl eis Oc Oo Fl t Ar type Oc Oo Ar pkg Oc ...
Like
.Cm audit ,
but check only the given package names or patterns.
.It Cm audit-batch Oo Fl eis Oc Oo Fl t Ar type Oc Oo Ar pkg-list Oc ...
Like
.Cm audit-pkg ,
but read the package names or patterns one per line from the given files.
.It Cm audit-history Oo Fl s Oc Oo Fl t Ar type Oc Oo Ar pkgbase Oc ...
Print all vulnerabilities for the given base package names.
.It Cm check Op Ar pkg ...
Use this command to check the files belonging to some or all of the
packages installed on the local machine against the checksum
which was recorded in the
.Pa +CONTENTS
files at package installation time.
Symbolic links also have their integrity checked against the recorded
value at package installation time.
If no additional argument is given, the files of all installed packages
are checked, else only the named packages will be checked (wildcards can
be used here, see
.Xr pkg_info 1 ) .
.Pp
The packages'
.Pa +CONTENTS
files will be parsed and the
checksum will be checked for every file found.
A warning message is printed if the expected checksum differs from the
checksum of the file on disk.
Symbolic links are also checked, ensuring that the targets on disk are
the same as the contents recorded at package installation time.
.It Cm check-license Ar condition
Check if
.Ar condition
can be fulfilled with the currently set of accepted licenses.
Prints either yes or no to stdout if the condition can be parsed,
otherwise it exits with error.
.It Cm check-pkg-vulnerabilities Oo Fl s Oc Ar file
Check format and hashes in the pkg-vulnerabilities file
.Ar file .
If
.Fl s
is given, also check the embedded signature.
.It Cm check-signature Ar file ...
Reports if
.Ar file
is a correctly signed package.
.It Cm check-single-license Ar license
Check if
.Ar license
is a valid license name and if it is in the set of acceptable licenses.
Prints either yes or no to stdout if the condition can be parsed,
otherwise it exits with error.
.It Cm config-var Ar variable
Print the current value of
.Ar variable
as used after parsing the configuration file.
.It Cm digest Ar file ...
Compute a SHA256 message digest of
.Ar file .
.It Cm dump
Dump the contents of the package database, similar to
.Cm pkg_info -F .
Columns are printed for the key field used in the pkgdb - the filename -,
and the data field - the package the file belongs to.
.It Cm fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities Oo Fl su Oc
Fetch a new pkg-vulnerabilities file, check the format and if
.Fl s
is given the signature.
If all checks are passed, write it to pkgdb.
If
.Fl u
is given, the fetch is conditional and the file transfer is only done if
the remote version is newer than the one in pkgdb.
.It Cm findbest Ar pattern ...
Search the entries of
.Dv PKG_PATH
for packages matching
.Ar pattern .
Print the URL of the best matching package to stdout for each pattern.
If a pattern is not matched, it is skipped and the command will return
a failure.
.It Cm gpg-sign-package pkg spkg
Sign the binary package
.Ar pkg
using GPG and write the result to
.Ar spkg .
.It Cm lsall Ar /dir/pkgpattern
.It Cm lsbest Ar /dir/pkgpattern
List all/best package matching pattern in the given directory
.Pa /dir .
If the
.Fl d
flag is given, then that directory path overrides
.Pa /dir .
Can be used to work around limitations of /bin/sh and other
filename globbing mechanisms.
This option implements matching of
pkg-wildcards against arbitrary files and directories, useful mainly in
the build system itself.
See
.Xr pkg_info 1
for a description of the pattern.

Example:
.Bd -literal
yui# cd /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/
yui# ls unzip*
unzip-5.40.tgz  unzip-5.41.tgz
yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip*'
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.40.tgz
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip\*[Ge]5.40'
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.40.tgz
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip\*[Ge]5.41'
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
yui# pkg_admin lsbest 'unzip\*[Ge]5.40'
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
yui# pkg_admin lsall /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/'{mit,unproven}-pthread*'
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/mit-pthreads-1.60b6.tgz
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unproven-pthreads-0.15.tgz
.Ed
.It Cm pmatch Ar pattern Ar pkg
Returns true if
.Ar pkg
matches
.Ar pattern ,
otherwise returns false.
.It Cm rebuild
Rebuild the package database mapping from scratch, using the
.Pa +CONTENTS
files of the installed packages.
This option is only intended for recovery after system crashes
during package installation and removal.
.It Cm rebuild-tree
Rebuild the +REQUIRED_BY files from scratch by reresolving all dependencies.
.Pp
This option is intended to be used for fixing inconsistencies between
the records of depending and depended-on packages, such as can arise
by the use of
.Cm pkg_delete -f .
.It Cm set Ar variable=value pkg ...
Set variable with information about the installed package.
Use
.Cm unset
to remove a variable.
.Pp
Packages that are not installed directly by the user but pulled in as
dependencies are marked by setting
.Dq automatic=YES .
.It Cm x509-sign-package pkg spkg key cert
Sign the binary package
.Ar pkg
using the key
.Ar key
and the certificate
.Ar cert ,
using
.Ar spkg
as output file.
.It Cm unset Ar variable pkg ...
Remove an installation variable.
