+.SH NAME
+pkg_delete - a utility for deleting previously installed software package distributions.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.na
+.B pkg_delete
+.RB [options]
+.RB "pkg-name\ [.. pkg-name]"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B pkg_delete
+command is used to delete packages that have been previously installed
+with the
+.B pkg_add
+command.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+The following command line options are supported.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Turns on verbose output.
+.B "Optional."
+.TP
+.B \-D
+If an de-installation script exists for a given package, do not execute it.
+.B "Optional."
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Don't actually de-install a package, just report the steps that
+would be taken if it was.
+.B "Optional."
+.TP
+.BI "\-p\ " prefix
+Sets
+.I prefix
+as the directory in which to delete files from any installed packages
+which do not explicitly set theirs.
+.B "Optional."
+.PP
+.SH "TECHNICAL DETAILS"
+.B
+pkg_delete
+does pretty much what it says.  It looks for a package in /var/db/pkg
+and sets about deleting the files that make up the package and, finally,
+the record of the package itself.
+.PP
+If the package contains a
+.B require
+file (see 
+.B pkg_create
+), then this is executed first with the flag
+.B DEINSTALL
+to see whether or not de-installation should continue (a non-zero exit
+status means no).
+.PP
+If a
+.B de-install
+script exists for the package, it is executed before any files are removed.
+It is this script's responsibility to clean up any additional messy details
+around the package's installation, since all
+.B pkg_delete
+knows how to do is delete the files created in the original distribution.
+The
+.B de-install
+script is called with the flags
+.PP
+.B <script>
+.I pkg-name DEINSTALL
+.PP
+Where
+.I pkg-name
+is the name of the package in question and
+.I DEINSTALL
+is a keyword denoting that this is a deinstallation.  Passing the keyword
+lets you potentially write only one program/script that handles all
+aspects of installation and deletion.
+.PP
+.SH BUGS
+Sure to be some.
