DESCRIPTION
pkg lock is used to lock packages against reinstallation, modification or
deletion. pkg unlock unlocks the named packages. Either variant only
has an effect on currently installed packages. Consequently it is
impossible to block installation of a new package by using this
mechanism, unless such an installation implies updating a locked package.
The impact of locking a package is wider than simply preventing
modifications to the package itself. Any operation implying modification
of the locked package will be blocked. This includes:
o Attempts to reinstall, up- or downgrade or delete the locked package
itself.
o Installation, up- or downgrade of a package where the resultant
package would have a dependency on a different version of the locked
package.
o Deletion, up- or downgrade of any package the locked package depends
upon, either directly or as a consequence of installing or upgrading
some third package.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg lock:
-a, ---all
Lock or unlock all installed packages.
-C, --case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching against
pkg-name case sensitive.
-g, --glob
Treat pkg-name as a shell glob pattern.
-i, --case-insensitive
Make the standard or the 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.
-l, --show-locked
Show a list of all locked packages. This can be used without
-x, --regex
Treat pkg-name as a regular expression according to the "modern" or
"extended" syntax of re_format(7).
-y, --yes
Assume "yes" as the answer to all questions.
--has-locked-packages
Return 0 if at least one package is locked, 1 otherwise
