PKG-RQUERY(8) DragonFly System Manager's Manual PKG-RQUERY(8)
NAME
pkg rquery - query information from remote repositories
SYNOPSIS
pkg rquery -I|query-format pkg-name
pkg rquery [-aU] [-r reponame] -I|query-format
pkg rquery [-U] -e evaluation-condition [-r reponame] -I|query-format
pkg rquery [-U] [-Cgix] [-r reponame] -I|query-format pattern ...
DESCRIPTION
pkg rquery is used for displaying information about remote packages.
Package repository catalogues will be automatically updated whenever pkg
rquery 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 rquery:
-a, --all
Match all packages from the database.
-C, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching against
pkg-name case sensitive.
-e evaluation-condition, --evaluate evaluation-condition
Match packages using the given evaluation-condition. See
EVALUATION FORMAT for details.
-I, --index-line
Print out the corresponding line from the ports INDEX file for
each matched package. This option is a shorthand query-format
argument. Only the first query format (including the -I option)
on the command line will be interpreted.
-r reponame, --repository reponame
Query for data about packages from only the named repository,
irrespective of the configured "active" status from repo.conf.
By default all repository catalogues marked "active" are queried.
-g, --glob
Treat pattern as a 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.
-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 database. Otherwise they are
silently ignored.
-x, --regex
Treat pattern as a regular expression according to the "modern"
or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).
QUERY FORMAT
There are two types of keywords for the query format: the multiline and
the normal one. Only one type of multiline pattern is accepted for a
given query.
Normal patterns:
%R Name of the repository the package is in
%n Name of the matched package
%v Version of the matched package
%o Origin of the matched package
%p Prefix of the matched package
%m Maintainer of the matched package
%c Comment of the matched package
%e Description of the matched package
%w Home page of the matched package
%q Architecture of the matched package
%l License logic of the matched package
One of the following will be printed:
"single" if the package is distributed under one license
"and" if the package is multi-licensed
"or" if the package is dual-licensed
%s[bh] The flat size of the matched package, where b is in bytes, and h
is in human readable format
%M Message contained in the matched package
%?[drCOLBbA]
Returns 0 if the list is empty and 1 if the list has information
to display
d for dependencies
r for reverse dependencies
C for categories
O for options
L for licenses
B for required shared libraries
b for provided shared libraries
A for annotations
%#[drCOLBbA]
Returns the number of elements in the list
d for dependencies
r for reverse dependencies
C for categories
O for options
L for licenses
B for required shared libraries
b for provided shared libraries
A for annotations
Multiline patterns:
%d[nov]
Expands to the list of dependencies for the matched package,
where n stands for the package name, o for the package origin,
and v for the package version.
%r[nov]
Expands to the list of reverse dependencies for the matched
package, where n stands for the package name, o for the package
origin, and v for the package version.
%C Expands to the list of categories the matched package belongs to.
%O[kvdD]
Expands to the list of options of the matched package, where k
stands for option key v for option value, d for option default
value, and D for option description. Option default values and
descriptions are optional metadata and may be blank for certain
packages or repositories.
%L Expands to the list of license(s) for the matched package.
%B Expands to the list of shared libraries used by programs from the
matched package.
%b Expands to the list of shared libraries provided by the matched
package.
%A[tv] Expands to the list of annotations associated with the matched
package, where t stands for the annotation tag, and v stands for
the annotation value.
