DESCRIPTION
pkginfo displays information about software packages that
are installed on the system (with the first synopsis) or
that reside on a particular device or directory (with the
second synopsis).
Without options, pkginfo lists the primary category, package
instance, and the names of all completely installed and par-
tially installed packages. It displays one line for each
package selected.
OPTIONS
The -p and -i options are meaningless if used in conjunction
with the -d option.
The options -q, -x, and -l are mutually exclusive.
-a arch
Specify the architecture of the package as arch.
-c category
Display packages that match category. Categories are
defined with the CATEGORY parameter in the pkginfo(4)
file. If more than one category is supplied, the pack-
age needs to match only one category in the list. The
match is not case specific.
-d device
Defines a device, device, on which the software resides.
device can be an absolute directory pathname or the
identifiers for tape, floppy disk, removable disk, and
so forth. The special token spool may be used to indi-
cate the default installation spool directory

NOTES
Package commands are largefile(5)-aware. They handle files
larger than 2 GB in the same way they handle smaller files.
In their current implementations, pkgadd(1M), pkgtrans(1)
and other package commands can process a datastream of up
to 4 GB.
