           Summary: The manual page for pkg(8) should document more uses
                    of flag -f (e.g. for force)

At https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dpkg&sektion=3D8 for FreeBSD =
10.2 the
only documented use of -f is as a flag for the bootstrap command.=20

Please add to the man page other known uses of=20

-f

I'm aware of at least the following:=20

pkg update -f

pkg upgrade -f

----

A question about upgrade -f was asked in irc://chat.freenode.net/#pcbsd a
couple of days ago.

Other discussions that question or exemplify uses of -f include
