What is pkg-plist?
2022-02-27 11:45:06 toor@f3 ~
# pkg plist
pkg: unknown command: plist
For more information on available commands and options see 'pkg help'.
2022-02-27 11:45:23 toor@f3 ~
# pkg-plist
-bash: pkg-plist: command not found
2022-02-27 11:46:17 toor@f3 ~
# man pkg | grep plist
2022-02-27 11:46:35 toor@f3 ~
# man pkg-plist
No manual entry for pkg-plist
2022-02-27 11:46:39 toor@f3 ~
# pkg search pkg-plist
STFW:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/main/print/foo2zjs/pkg-plist

"freebsd-ports" (?). (I do not use Git or GitHub.)
