PKG-SHELL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PKG-SHELL(8)
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).
