For instance, on my /var I can see: % cd /var/db/pkg % ls -ld par* drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jun 11 05:13 par-1.50/ % more par-1.50/+CONTENTS @name par-1.50 @cwd /usr/local man/man1/par.1.gz @comment MD5:8cb79b0243be3336344a1ab2308767ba bin/par @comment MD5:986f197bcf2f2c5ec685bbcfe57f7075 Which means that /usr/local/bin/par and /usr/local/man/man1/par.1.gz are the files that were installed by the package. Of course, that is exactly what pkg_info does for you. I only wanted to note that all the information you're looking for is already in /var/db for you to browse with your normal shell utilities. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public key: finger keramida@ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
