pkg rquery is used for displaying information about remote packages.

Package repository catalogues will be automatically updated whenever pkg rquery is run by a user ID with write access to the package database, unless disabled by the -U flag or setting REPO_AUTOUPDATE to in pkg.conf(5).

The following options are supported by pkg rquery:

, --all
Match all packages from the database.
, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching against pkg-name case sensitive.
, --evaluate
Match packages using the given evaluation-condition. See EVALUATION FORMAT for details.
, --index-line
Print out the corresponding line from the ports INDEX file for each matched package. This option is a shorthand ⟨query-format⟩ argument. Only the first query format (including the -I option) on the command line will be interpreted.
reponame, --repository reponame
Query for data about packages from only the named repository, irrespective of the configured “active” status from repo.conf. By default all repository catalogues marked “active” are queried.
, --glob
Treat ⟨pattern⟩ as a glob pattern.
, --case-insensitive
Make the standard or regular expression (-x) matching against pkg-name case insensitive. This is the default, unless modified by setting CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH to true in pkg.conf.
, --no-repo-update
Suppress the automatic update of the local copy of the repository catalogue from remote. Automatic repository catalogue updates are only attempted when the effective UID of the process has write access to the package database. Otherwise they are silently ignored.
, --regex
Treat ⟨pattern⟩ as a regular expression according to the "modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).

There are two types of keywords for the query format: the multiline and the normal one. Only one type of multiline pattern is accepted for a given query.
