NAME

pkg_tree - Generate a graphical tree of packages and their dependencies

SYNOPSIS

pkg_tree [-bqrtv] [package-prefix ...]

DESCRIPTION

This program generates a graphical tree of packages and their dependancies.

USAGE

To show the dependencies of all packages, run it without arguments:

[~] edwin@k7>pkg_tree

To show the dependencies of one package, run it with an argument:

[~] edwin@k7>pkg_tree linux-netscape
linux-netscape-navigator-4.79
|\__ netscape-remote-1.0_1
|\__ netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07
|\__ linux_base-6.1
|\__ imake-4.1.0 (unknown)
|\__ freetype2-2.0.5
\__ XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 (unknown)

To also show the dependencies of the dependencies, use the -v parameter:

[~] edwin@k7>pkg_tree -v linux-netscape
linux-netscape-navigator-4.79
|\__ netscape-remote-1.0_1
| |\__ imake-4.1.0 (unknown)
| |\__ freetype2-2.0.3 (unknown)
| \__ XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 (unknown)
|\__ netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07
| |\__ freetype2-2.0.3 (unknown)
| |\__ imake-4.1.0 (unknown)
| |\__ netscape-remote-1.0_1
| | |\__ imake-4.1.0 (unknown)
| | |\__ freetype2-2.0.3 (unknown)
| | \__ XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 (unknown)
| \__ XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 (unknown)
|\__ linux_base-6.1
|\__ imake-4.1.0 (unknown)
|\__ freetype2-2.0.5
\__ XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 (unknown)

Use the -t parameter to show only top level packages, and -b to show only bottom level packages. And -t -q together will give the list of top level packages without their dependencies, installing only these packages should install all currently installed packages.

Use the -r parameter to show requirements relation.

RETURN VALUES

Always 0.

BUGS

Ports which have upgraded ports in their dependencies don't show their dependencies anymore if the old port is deleted; it then prints "(unknown)".
