PKG_ADMIN(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		  PKG_ADMIN(1)

NAME
     pkg_admin — perform various administrative tasks to the pkg system

SYNOPSIS
     pkg_admin [-bqSVv] [-C config] [-d lsdir] [-K pkg_dbdir] [-s sfx_pattern]
	       command [args ...]

DESCRIPTION
     This command performs various administrative tasks around the NetBSD
     Packages System.

OPTIONS
     The following command-line options are supported:

     -b	     Print only the base names when matching package names for lsall
	     and lsbest.

     -C config
	     Read the configuration file from config instead of the system
	     default.

     -d lsdir
	     Set lsdir as the path to the directory in which to find matching
	     package names for lsall and lsbest.

     -K pkg_dbdir
	     Override the value of the PKG_DBDIR configuration option with the
	     value pkg_dbdir.

     -q	     Perform checks in a quiet manner.	In normal operation, pkg_admin
	     prints a ‘.’ to standard output to indicate progress.  This
	     option suppresses this progress indicator.

     -S	     Set the shell glob pattern for package suffixes when matching
	     package names for lsall and lsbest to be the null suffix.

     -s sfx_pattern
	     Set the shell glob pattern for package suffixes when matching
	     package names for lsall and lsbest.  The default pattern is
	     ".t[bg]z".

     -V	     Print version number and exit.

     -v	     Be more verbose.

     The following commands are supported:

     add pkg ...
	     For each listed package, write the absolute pathnames of the
	     files listed in its +CONTENTS file together with the package they
	     belong to into the package database.  This should be used only by
	     pkg_view(1).

     audit [-es] [-t type] [pkg] ...
	     Check the listed installed packages for vulnerabilities.  If no
	     package is given, check all installed packages.  If -e is given,
	     override the CHECK_END_OF_LIFE option from pkg_install.conf(5)
	     with "yes".  If -s is given, check the signature of the pkg-vul‐
	     nerabilities file before using it.	 -t restricts the reported
	     vulnerabilities to type type.

     audit-pkg [-es] [-t type] [pkg] ...
	     Like audit, but check only the given package names or patterns.

     audit-batch [-es] [-t type] [pkg-list] ...
	     Like audit-pkg, but read the package names or patterns one per
	     line from the given files.

     audit-history [-s] [-t type] [pkgbase] ...
	     Print all vulnerabilities for the given base package names.

     check [pkg ...]
	     Use this command to check the files belonging to some or all of
	     the packages installed on the local machine against the checksum
	     which was recorded in the +CONTENTS files at package installation
	     time.  Symbolic links also have their integrity checked against
	     the recorded value at package installation time.  If no addi‐
	     tional argument is given, the files of all installed packages are
	     checked, else only the named packages will be checked (wildcards
	     can be used here, see pkg_info(1)).

	     The packages' +CONTENTS files will be parsed and the checksum
	     will be checked for every file found.  A warning message is
	     printed if the expected checksum differs from the checksum of the
	     file on disk.  Symbolic links are also checked, ensuring that the
	     targets on disk are the same as the contents recorded at package
	     installation time.

     check-license condition
	     Check if condition can be fulfilled with the currently set of
	     accepted licenses.	 Prints either yes or no to stdout if the con‐
	     dition can be parsed, otherwise it exits with error.

     check-pkg-vulnerabilities [-s] file
	     Check format and hashes in the pkg-vulnerabilities file file.  If
	     -s is given, also check the embedded signature.

     check-signature file ...
	     Reports if file is a correctly signed package.

     check-single-license license
	     Check if license is a valid license name and if it is in the set
	     of acceptable licenses.  Prints either yes or no to stdout if the
	     condition can be parsed, otherwise it exits with error.

     config-var variable
	     Print the current value of variable as used after parsing the
	     configuration file.

     delete pkg ...
	     For each listed package, remove all file entries in the package
	     database that belong to the package.  This should be used only by
	     pkg_view(1).

     dump    Dump the contents of the package database, similar to pkg_info
	     -F.  Columns are printed for the key field used in the pkgdb -
	     the filename -, and the data field - the package the file belongs
	     to.

     fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities [-su]
	     Fetch a new pkg-vulnerabilities file, check the format and if -s
	     is given the signature.  If all checks are passed, write it to
	     pkgdb.  If -u is given, the fetch is conditional and the file
	     transfer is only done if the remote version is newer than the one
	     in pkgdb.

     findbest pattern ...
	     Search the entries of PKG_PATH for packages matching pattern.
	     Print the URL of the best matching package to stdout for each
	     pattern.  If a pattern is not matched, it is skipped and the com‐
	     mand will return a failure.

     lsall /dir/pkgpattern

     lsbest /dir/pkgpattern
	     List all/best package matching pattern in the given directory
	     /dir.  If the -d flag is given, then that directory path over‐
	     rides /dir.  Can be used to work around limitations of /bin/sh
	     and other filename globbing mechanisms.  This option implements
	     matching of pkg-wildcards against arbitrary files and directo‐
	     ries, useful mainly in the build system itself.  See pkg_info(1)
	     for a description of the pattern.

	     Example:

	     yui# cd /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/
	     yui# ls unzip*
	     unzip-5.40.tgz  unzip-5.41.tgz
	     yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip*'
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.40.tgz
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
	     yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip≥5.40'
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.40.tgz
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
	     yui# pkg_admin lsall 'unzip≥5.41'
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
	     yui# pkg_admin lsbest 'unzip≥5.40'
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unzip-5.41.tgz
	     yui# pkg_admin lsall /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/'{mit,unproven}-pthread*'
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/mit-pthreads-1.60b6.tgz
	     /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/unproven-pthreads-0.15.tgz

     pmatch pattern pkg
	     Returns true if pkg matches pattern, otherwise returns false.

     rebuild
	     Rebuild the package database mapping from scratch.	 This option
	     is only intended for recovery after system crashes during package
	     installation and removal.

     rebuild-tree
	     Rebuild the +REQUIRED_BY files from scratch by reresolving all
	     dependencies.

	     This option is intended to be used for fixing inconsistencies
	     between the records of depending and depended-on packages, such
	     as can arise by the use of pkg_delete -f.

     set variable=value pkg ...
	     Set variable with information about the installed package.	 Use
	     unset to remove a variable.

	     Packages that are not installed directly by the user but pulled
	     in as dependencies are marked by setting “automatic=YES”.

     gpg-sign-package pkg spkg
	     Sign the binary package pkg using GPG and write the result to
	     spkg.

     x509-sign-package pkg spkg key cert
	     Sign the binary package pkg using the key key and the certificate
	     cert, using spkg as output file.

     unset variable pkg ...
	     Remove an installation variable.

     environment.
