NAME

pkg shell — interact with the pkg database

SYNOPSIS

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).
