DESCRIPTION
     pkg info is used for displaying information for packages.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by pkg info:

     -A, --annotations
             Display any annotations added to the package.

     -a, --all
             Display all installed packages.

     -B, --required-shlibs
             Display all shared libraries used by pkg-name.

     -b, --provided-shlibs
             Display all shared libraries provided by pkg-name.

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

     -D, --pkg-message
             Show the pkg-message for matching packages.

     -d, --dependencies
             Display the list of packages on which pkg-name depends.

     -E, --show-name-only
             Hides the full package output and only shows the package name.
             This option is deprecated and exists only for Ports
             compatibility.

     -e, --exists
             If pkg-name is installed and registered in the database, return
             0, otherwise return 1.  Useful for checking whether the package
             is installed.

     -F pkg-file, --file pkg-file
             Displays information from the package archive pkg-file.

     -f, --full
             Display full information about the packages matching pkg-name.
             This is the default.

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

     -I, --comment
             Display the specified packages and their comments.

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

     -k, --locked
             Show the locking status for pkg-name.  When used in combination
             with -d or -r, indicate which packages, dependencies or
             requirements are locked by '(*)'.  Locking status is only
             meaningful for installed packages; all locking statuses will show
             as unlocked when information about a pkg-file is queried.

     -l, --list-files
             Display all files installed by pkg-name.

     -O, --by-origin
             Search is done by the pkg-name origin.  Added only for Ports
             compatibility.

     -o, --origin
             Display pkg-name origin.

     -p, --prefix
             Display the installation prefix for each package matching
             pkg-name.

     -q, --quiet
             Be "quiet".  Prints only the requested information without
             displaying many hints.

     -R, --raw
             Display the full manifest (raw) for the packages matching
             pkg-name.

     -r, --required-by
             Display the list of packages which require pkg-name.

     --raw-format format
             Choose the format of the raw output.  The format can be: ucl
             (default), json, json-compact, yaml.

     -s, --size
             Display the total size of files installed by pkg-name.

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