NAME
       pkg fetch -- fetch remote packages

SYNOPSIS
       pkg fetch [-r reponame ...] [-dqUy] [-Cgix] pkg-name [...]
       pkg fetch [-r reponame ...] [-o destdir]	[-dqsUy] -a
       pkg fetch [-r reponame ...] [-dqUy] -u

       pkg    fetch    [--repository	reponame   ...]	  [--output   destdir]
	   [--{dependencies,quiet,symlink,no-repo-update,yes}]
	   [--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pkg-name [...]
       pkg	   fetch	 [--repository		reponame	  ...]
	   [--{dependencies,quiet,symlink,no-repo-update,yes}] --all
       pkg	    fetch	   [--repository	 reponame	  ...]
	   [--{dependencies,quiet,no-repo-update,yes}] --available-updates

DESCRIPTION
       pkg fetch is used to download binary packages from a remote repository.

       One or more packages, or	patterns, can be specified.

       Package repository catalogues will be  automatically  updated  whenever
       pkg  fetch  is  run by a	user ID	with write access to the package data-
       base, unless disabled by	the -U flag or setting REPO_AUTOUPDATE	to  NO
       in pkg.conf(5).

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported by pkg fetch:

       -a, --all     Fetch all packages.

       -o destdir, --output destdir
		     Place  files  in a	sub-directory called All of the	speci-
		     fied directory.  In this mode, packages are  fetched  for
		     distribution  instead  of	placing	them into the internal
		     cache.

       -C, --case-sensitive
		     Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching
		     against pkg-name case sensitive.

       -d, --dependencies
		     Fetch the package and its dependencies as well.

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

       -i, --case-insensitive
		     Make the standard or  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.

       -q, --quiet   Quiet mode.  Show less output.

       -r reponame, --repository reponame
		     Fetches packages from the given reponame if multiple repo
		     support  is enabled.  This	option can be specified	multi-
		     ple times to use several repositories.  See pkg.conf(5).

       -s, --symlink
		     Create a symlink to the fetched package in	the All	direc-
		     tory when using -o	to fetch  packages  for	 distribution.
		     This is useful when the remote repository stores packages
		     in	 a hashed directory structure (All/Hashed/xx/) but lo-
		     cal tools expect packages directly	in All/.

       -u, --available-updates
		     Fetch all available updates for the  currently  installed
		     packages.

       -U, --no-repo-update
		     Suppress  the  automatic  update of the local copy	of the
		     repository	catalogue from remote.	 Automatic  repository
		     catalogue	updates	 are only attempted when the effective
		     UID of the	process	has write access to the	package	 data-
		     base.  Otherwise they are silently	ignored.

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

       -y, --yes     Assume yes	when asked for	confirmation  before  fetching
		     packages.

ENVIRONMENT
       The following environment variables affect the execution	of pkg fetch:

       PKG_DBDIR

       CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH

       PKG_REPO_SYMLINK	 If  set, enables symlink creation when	fetching pack-
			 ages with -o, equivalent to specifying	-s.

       See pkg.conf(5) for additional environment variables that  control  be-
       haviour.

FILES
       See pkg.conf(5).
