I would like to find out what port installed a specific file, and in =
searching I found the suggestion, from 2010, to use

pkg_info -W <name of file>

But on FreeBSD 11.1-p4-RELEASE with postmaster, there is no pkg_info and =
`pkg info` doesn't have a -W flag nor, apparently, a way to check for =
where a file came from.
