NAME
       pkginfo - display software package information

SYNOPSIS
       pkginfo [options]

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.

OPTIONS
       -i, --installed
              List installed packages and their version.

       -l, --list <package|file>
              List  files  owned  by  the  specified <package> or contained in
              <file>.

       -o, --owner <pattern>
              List owner(s) of file(s) matching <pattern>.

       -f, --footprint <file>
              Print footprint for <file>.  This  feature  is  mainly  used  by
              pkgmk(8) for creating and comparing footprints.

       -r, --root <path>
              Specify  alternative  installation  root  (default is "/"). This
              should be used if you want to display information about a  pack-
              age 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.
