NAME
pkg shell —
interact with the pkg
database
SYNOPSIS
pkg shell |
DESCRIPTION
pkg shell is used to interact with the local or remote
database through a sqlite3 console. Extreme care should be taken when using
this command.
Do not rely on this command. The underlying schema is subject to change on any release. Use pkg-query(8), pkg-rquery(8), pkg-search(8) and pkg-set(8) instead for querying and modifying the database. These commands are expected to have a stable API, unlike the database schema.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of
pkg shell. See
pkg.conf(5) for further description.
PKG_DBDIR
FILES
See pkg.conf(5).
