NAME
       pkgmk - make software package

SYNOPSIS
       pkgmk [options]

DESCRIPTION
       pkgmk  is a package management utility, which makes a software package.
       A package is an archive of files (.pkg.tar.gz) that  can  be  installed
       using pkgadd(8).

       To  prepare  to  use  pkgmk,  you  must write a file named Pkgfile that
       describes how the package should be build. Once a suitable Pkgfile file
       exists,  each  time  you  change  some source files, you simply execute
       pkgmk to bring the package up to date. The pkgmk program uses the  Pkg-
       file file and the last-modification times of the source files to decide
       if the package needs to be updated.

       Global build configuration is stored in /etc/pkgmk.conf. This  file  is
       read by pkgmk at startup.
