clean the local cache of fetched remote
packages
SYNOPSIS
pkg clean |
[-anqy] |
pkg clean |
[--{all,dry-run,quiet,yes}] |
DESCRIPTION
pkg clean is used to cleanup the local cache of packages
downloaded from remote repositories. It removes packages that have been
superseded by newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg
clean:
-a,--all- Delete all cached packages.
-n,--dry-run- Do not delete any package files from the cache, but show what would be
done instead. Forces the preview of the packages that would be deleted to
be shown, even when used with
-y. Note: the package cache file permissions only permit root access. Results will be disappointing for any other user. -q,--quiet- Be quiet. Suppress most output. All output is suppressed if
-yis also used. -y,--yes- Assume a yes answer instead of asking for confirmation before deleting any out of date or redundant packages from the cache.
ENVIRONMENT

pkg clean. See
pkg.conf(5) for further description.
