📦 version 2.7.5, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 pkg-updating(8) — display UPDATING entries of software packages 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to pkg-updating(8) from the System Manager's Manual 💖 this is the pkg updating command, and its whole main-character job is literally to display UPDATING entries of software packages ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pkg updating [-i] [-d date] [-f file] [pkg-name ...]

pkg updating [--case-insensitive] [--date date] [--file file]
    [pkg-name ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The pkg updating command scans the installed ports and shows all UPDATING entries that affect one of the installed ports 👑 alternatively, a list of pkg-names could be passed 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

These are the flags pkg updating supports, bestie:

  • pkg-name ... — UPDATING entries for the named packages are displayed ✨
  • -i, --case-insensitive — makes matching against pkg-name case-insensitive 💅
  • -d date, --date date — only entries newer than date are shown; use a YYYYMMDD date format 🎀
  • -f file, --file file — defines an alternative location of the UPDATING file 🦋

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg updating:

  • PORTSDIR — location of the ports tree 🌈

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /usr/ports/UPDATING — the default location of the UPDATING file 🍓
