If .Ar pkg-name is literally .Pa - then it will read the package data from stdin. .Nm will automatically detect and unpack most common compression formats based on the content of the data stream it reads, ignoring any extension the filename may have. .Pp If this involves reading from a pipe (including .Pa stdin ) , fifo, socket or some other non-regular form of input stream then .Nm will immediately emit an error if .Ar pkg-name has unmet dependencies. .Sh OPTIONS The following options are supported by .Nm : .Bl -tag -width automatic .It Fl A , Cm --automatic Mark the installed packages as automatic. Will be automatically removed if no other packages depend on them. For more information please refer to .Xr pkg-autoremove 8 . .It Fl f , Cm --force Force the reinstallation of the package if already installed. .It Fl I , Cm --no-scripts If any installation scripts (pre-install or post-install) exist for given packages, do not execute them. .It Fl M , Cm --accept-missing Force the installation of the package with missing dependencies. .It Fl q , Cm --quiet Force quiet output. .It Cm --relocate Ar location Annotates the package as having been relocated to .Pa location , which is an alternate system root. This is an experimental feature and intended for cross-architecture package management. There is no corresponding single letter option. .Pq DEPRECATED .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables affect the execution of .Nm .
