.Sh NAME
.Nm "pkg rquery"
.Nd query information from remote repositories
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Fl I Ns | Ns Ar query-format
.Ar pkg-name
.Nm
.Op Fl aU
.Op Fl r Ar reponame
.Fl I Ns | Ns Ar query-format
.Nm
.Op Fl U
.Op Fl Cgix
.Op Fl e Ar evaluation-condition
.Op Fl r Ar reponame
.Fl I Ns | Ns Ar query-format
.Ar pattern ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is used for displaying information about remote packages.
.Pp
Package repository catalogues will be automatically updated whenever
.Nm
is run by a user ID with write access to the package database,
unless disabled by the
.Fl U
flag or setting
.Va REPO_AUTOUPDATE
to
.Dq Li NO
in
.Xr pkg.conf 5 .
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are supported by
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl a , Fl -all
Match all packages from the database.
.It Fl C , Fl -case-sensitive
Make the standard or the regular expression
.Pq Fl x
matching against
.Ar pkg-name
in pattern case sensitive.
.It Fl e Ar evaluation-condition , Fl -evaluate Ar evaluation-condition
Match packages using the given
.Ar evaluation-condition .
See
.Sx EVALUATION FORMAT
for details.
.It Fl I , Fl -index-line
Print out the corresponding line from the ports
.Pa INDEX
file for each matched package.
This option is a shorthand
.Ar query-format
argument.
Only the first query format (including the
.Fl I
option) on the command line will be interpreted.
.It Fl r Ar reponame , Fl -repository Ar reponame
Query for data about packages from only the named repository,
irrespective of the configured
.Dq enabled
status from
.Pa repo.conf .
By default, catalogues for all enabled repositories are queried.
.It Fl g , Fl -glob
Treat
.Ar pattern
as a glob pattern.
.It Fl i , Fl -case-insensitive
Make the standard or regular expression
.Pq Fl x
matching against
.Ar pkg-name
in pattern case insensitive.
This is the default, unless modified by setting
.Va CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH
to
.Dq Li true
in
.Pa pkg.conf .
.It Fl U , Fl -no-repo-update
Suppress the automatic update of the local copy of the repository catalogue
from remote.
Automatic repository catalogue updates are only attempted when the
effective UID of the process has write access to the package database.
Otherwise they are silently ignored.
.It Fl x , Fl -regex
Treat
.Ar pattern
as a regular expression according to the
.Dq modern
or
.Dq extended
syntax of
.Xr re_format 7 .
.El
.Sh QUERY FORMAT
There are two types of keywords for the query format: the multiline and the
normal one.
Only one type of multiline pattern is accepted for a given query.
