This is the default unless CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH has been set to true in pkg.conf. (The detailed wording can vary some.) Which pkg commands have command line options for that: pkg annotate [-qy] -A|M [-Cgix] pkg check -d|-s [-nqvy] [-Cgix] pkg delete [-DfnqRy] [-Cgix] pkg fetch [-r reponame] [-dqUy] [-Cgix] pkg info [-ABbDdefIklOpqRrs] [-Cgix] pkg install [-AfIMnFqRUy] [-r reponame] [-Cgix] pkg lock [-lqy] [-Cgix] pkg query [-Cgix] pkg remove [-DfnqRy] [-Cgix] pkg rquery [-U] [-Cgix] pkg search [-U] [-r reponame] [-S search] [-L label] [-Q query-modifier] [-Cegix] pkg set [-a] [-A 0|1] [-n oldname:newname] [-o oldorigin:neworigin] [-p] [-v 0|1] [-y] [-Cgix] pkg unlock [-lqy] [-Cgix] pkg updating [--case-insensitive] pkg upgrade [-fInFqUy] [-r reponame] [-Cgix] pkg version [-IPR] [-hoqvU] [-l limchar] [-L limchar] [-Cegix pattern] Note: "pkg updating" is unusual in that it only has an explicit command line request for --case-insensitive (and the -i form of that). It has no words about CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH . Note: "man pkg-remove" shows the pkg-delete page. So I included an example. But the man page does not show "pkg remove". Yet, "pkg -l" does list "remove". Note: There is no pkg-plugins man page but "pkg -l" lists "plugins".
