PKG_GLOB(1) General Commands Manual PKG_GLOB(1) NAME pkg_glob -- a package glob expander with wildcards and dependency recursion support SYNOPSIS pkg_glob [-haOqrR] [-x pkgname_glob] [pkgname_glob ...] DESCRIPTION The pkg_glob command lists the installed packages matching given package globs, optionally recursing through dependencies. The output list is sorted in alphabetical order. Use pkg_sort(1) to sort them in dependency order. (e.g. pkg_glob -a | pkg_sort) Before reading these instructions, you must understand that a port/package can have the following two types of related ports/packages: required Ports/packages that a port/package needs for it to be built and/or run. Port Makefiles refer to this type of ports/packages using the BUILD_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS macros, respectively. dependent Ports/packages that need this port/package. OPTIONS The following command line arguments are supported: pkgname_glob Specify one of these: a full pkgname, a pkgname without version, or a shell glob pattern to match against pkg- names or their origins in which you can use wildcards `*', `?', and `[..]', an extended regular expression preceded by a colon `:' to match against pkgnames or their origins, or a date range specification preceded by either `<' or `>'. A date range specification must be in the following form: {<|<=|>=|>}{date|pkgname_glob} Which selects packages that had been installed before or after the date or the package specified. It is rec- ommended to use the ISO 8601 format to specify a date, while various formats are accepted. Here are some pattern examples: tcl-8.2.3 Specifically `tcl-8.2.3'. tcl Whatever versions of `tcl' installed. This would not match `tcl-sql' or `tcl-thread'. 'ja-*' Everything with a `ja-' prefix. '*gnome*' Everything having `gnome' in the name. '*sh' This would not match anything since the version part cannot be omitted if a pattern contains wildcards. 'lang/* Everything installed from the category `lang'. :'sh-[^-]+$' Everything which name ends with `sh'. :'(?i)sql' Everything having `sql' in the name, ignoring the case. '>=2001-09-20 08:00' Everything that was installed after 2001-09-20 08:00:00 (local time). '<png' Everything that was installed prior to `png'. -h --help Show help and exit. -a --all List all the installed packages. Equivalent to specify '*' as pkgname_glob. -O --omit-check Omit sanity checks for dependencies. By default, pkg_glob checks if all the packages to list have con- sistent dependencies, though it takes extra time to calculate dependencies. If you are sure you have run "pkgdb -F" in advance, you can specify this option to omit the sanity checks. -q --noconfig Do not read the configuration file. ($PREFIX/etc/pkg- tools.conf) -r --recursive List all those packages depending on the given packages as well. -R --upward-recursive List all those packages required by the given packages as well. -x pkgname_glob --exclude pkgname_glob Exclude packages matching the specified glob pattern. Exclusion is performed after recursing dependency in response to -r and/or -R, which means, for example, the following command will list all the packages depending on XFree86 but XFree86 will be excluded: pkg_glob -rx XFree86 XFree86 ENVIRONMENT PKG_DBDIR Alternative location for the installed package database. Default is "/var/db/pkg". PKGTOOLS_CONF Configuration file for the pkgtools suite. Default is "$PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf". FILES /var/db/pkg Default location of the installed package data- base. $PREFIX/etc/pkgtools.conf Default location of the pkgtools configuration file.
