But, for example, . . .

# man pkg-rquery
PKG-RQUERY(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PKG-RQUERY(8)

NAME
pkg rquery =E2=80=93 query information from remote repositories

SYNOPSIS
pkg rquery -I|query-format pkg-name
pkg rquery [-aU] [-r reponame] -I|query-format
pkg rquery [-U] [-Cgix] [-e evaluation-condition] [-r reponame]
-I|query-format pattern ...

. . .

OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg rquery:

. . .

-r reponame, --repository reponame
Query for data about packages from only the named repository,
irrespective of the configured =E2=80=9Cenabled=E2=80=9D status from repo.c=
onf.
By default, catalogues for all enabled repositories are queried.

. . .



So, the above behavior is not obvious to me from
the documentation.
