The answer is "yes". See "man yes" for details. Probably
you can use something like
yes | pkg
yes | pkg2ng
Other options are maybe "echo y | <program>" if there is
no -y for the program itself.
However, this should not be needed for all pkg operations.
For example, "pkg install" offers a -y option:
-y Assume yes when asked for confirmation before package installation.
It also honors the ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES setting in pkg.conf.
See "man pkg-install" for details. Note that the different
operations pkg can perform all have their own manpage. They
are listed in the "SEE ALSO" section of "man pkg".
