.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
.Fl d
or
.Nm
.Fl -dependencies
checks for and installs missing dependencies.
.Pp
.Nm
.Fl s
or
.Nm
.Fl -checksums
detects installed packages with invalid checksums.
An invalid checksum can be caused by data corruption or tampering.
.Sh OPTIONS
These options are supported by
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width dependencies
.It Fl a , Fl -all
Process all packages.
.It Fl C , Fl -case-sensitive
Use case sensitive standard or regular expression
.Fl ( x )
matching with
.Ar pattern .
.It Fl d , Fl -dependencies
Checks for and installs missing dependencies
.It Fl g , Fl -glob
Treat
.Ar pattern
as a shell glob pattern.
.It Fl i , Fl -case-insensitive
Use case insensitive standard or regular expression
.Fl ( x )
matching with
.Ar pattern .
This is the default unless
.Ev CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH
has been set to true in
.Pa pkg.conf .
.It Fl n , Fl -dry-run
Only check for missing dependencies, do not install them.
.It Fl s , Fl -checksums
Detects installed packages with invalid checksums
.It Fl v , Fl -verbose
Be verbose.
.It Fl q , Fl -quiet
Suppress most output, except for error messages and data that the
command explicitly requests.
This is primarily intended for scripting use.
.It Fl x , Fl -regex
Treat
.Ar pattern
as a regular expression, using the "modern" or "extended" syntax
described in
.Xr re_format 7 .
.It Fl y , Fl -yes
Assume "yes" when asked for confirmation before installing missing
dependencies.
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
These environment variables affect the execution of
.Nm .

.Sh EXAMPLES
Test for missing dependencies needed by nano, installing any that are
missing:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
pkg check -d nano
.Ed
.Pp
Test the checksums of all installed packages to make sure none are
corrupted:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
pkg check -sa
.Ed
