>Description:
According to the pkg_add(1) man page at least one argument is mandantory:
SYNOPSIS
pkg_add [-vInfFrRMSK] [-t template] [-p prefix] [-P prefix]
[-C chrootdir] pkg-name [pkg-name ...]
But if incorrectly called without arguments, no usage information is displayed and the return value is zero.
# pkg_add
# echo $?
0
#
pkg_delete(1) behaves correctly:
# pkg_delete
pkg_delete: missing package name(s)
usage: pkg_delete [-dDfGinrvxX] [-p prefix] pkg-name ...
pkg_delete -a [flags]
# echo $?
1
#
