PKG-FETCH(8)		     System Manager's Manual		    PKG-FETCH(8)

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 database, 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  specified
		   directory.	In this mode, packages are fetched for distribu-
		   tion 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 modi-
		   fied 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	multiple
		   times to use several repositories.  See pkg.conf(5).

     -s, --symlink
		   Create  a symlink to the fetched package in the All directory
		   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 local tools expect
		   packages directly in All/.

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

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

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

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

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	packages
		       with -o, equivalent to specifying -s.

     See  pkg.conf(5)  for  additional environment variables that control behav-
     iour.

FILES
     See pkg.conf(5).
