-.Sh NAME
-.Nm pkg_version
-.Nd summarize installed versions of packages
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl hIoqv
-.Op Fl l Ar limchar
-.Op Fl L Ar limchar
-.Oo
-.Op Fl X
-.Fl s Ar string
-.Oc
-.Op Fl O Ar origin
-.Op Ar index
-.Nm
-.Fl t Ar version1 version2
-.Nm
-.Fl T Ar pkgname pattern
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-command is used to produce a report of non-base software packages
-installed using the
-.Xr pkg_add 1
-command.
-.Pp
-Each package's version number is checked against one of two sources to
-see if that package may require updating.
-If the package contains
-information about its origin in the
-.Fx
-ports tree, and a version number can be determined from the port's
-.Pa Makefile ,
-then the version number from the
-.Pa Makefile
-will be used to determine whether the installed package is up-to-date
-or requires updating.
-.Pp
-If no origin for a package can be found, or if the port's
-.Pa Makefile
-cannot be located,
-.Nm
-will search for the package in the ports collection index file
-(typically
-.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX-8 ) .
-Any matching version number(s) there will be used to determine whether
-the installed package is up-to-date or requires updating.
-.Pp
-Generally, using the version number from a port's
-.Pa Makefile
-will provide a more accurate result, since, unlike the index file, it
-provides an unambiguous current version number, even when multiple
-versions of a port exist in the ports collection.
-Moreover, the ports collection index file is only updated at
-intervals, meaning that it may not completely reflect the version
-numbers of the software contained in the ports collection.
-.Pp
-Each package name is printed, along with a one-character status flag:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Li =
-The installed version of the package is current.
-.It Li \&<
-The installed version of the package is older than the current version.
-.It Li \&>
-The installed version of the package is newer than the current version.
-This situation can arise with an out-of-date index file, or when
-testing new ports.
-.It Li \&?
-The installed package does not appear in the index.
-This could be due to an out of date index or a package taken from a PR
-that has not yet been committed.
-.It Li *
-There are multiple versions of a particular software package
-listed in the index file.
-Examples from the
-.Fx
-ports collection are the Tcl toolkit or the
-.Tn EMACS
-editor.
-.It Li \&!
-The installed package exists in the index but for some reason,
-.Nm
-was unable to compare the version number of the installed package
-with the corresponding entry in the index.
-.El
-.Sh OPTIONS
-The
-.Nm
-utility supports several command-line arguments:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl h , -help
-Print help message.
-.It Fl I , -index-only
-Use only the index file for determining if a package is out of date.
-This is much faster than using the version number from a port's
-Makefile, at the expense of potentially giving an incorrect result if
-the index file is out of date.
-.It Fl l , -status Ar limchar
-Limit the output to those packages whose status flag matches the
-character(s) in
-.Ar limchar .
-More than one character can be specified in
-.Ar limchar .
-Note that because some of the status flag characters are also special
-to the shell, it is best to quote
-.Ar limchar
-with single quotes.
-.It Fl L , -no-status Ar limchar
-Limit the output to those packages whose status flag does not match
-.Ar limchar .
-You may specify more than one character to match in
-.Ar limchar .
-Note that because some of the status flag characters are also special
-to the shell, it is best to quote
-.Ar limchar
-with single quotes.
-.It Fl o , -show-origin
-Show the origin recorded on package generation instead of the package
-name.
-.It Fl O , -origin Ar origin
-Only list packages whose registered origin is
-.Ar origin .
-.It Fl q , -quiet
-Enable quiet output.
-Quiet output precludes printing the
-.Ar limchar
-when used with
-.Fl l
-or
-.Fl L .
-This is useful when used as the input to
-.Xr portupgrade 8 .
-.It Fl s , -match Ar string
-Limit the output to those packages whose names match a given
-.Ar string .
-.It Fl X , -extended
-Interpret
-.Ar string
-as a extended regular expression.
-.It Fl t
-Test a pair of version number strings and exit.
-The output consists of one of the single characters
-.Li =
-(equal),
-.Li \&<
-(right-hand number greater), or
-.Li \&>
-(left-hand number greater) on standard output.
-This flag is mostly useful for scripts or for testing.
-.It Fl T
-Test whether
-.Ar pkgname
-is matched by
-.Ar pattern
-and set the exit code accordingly.
-.Fl T
-can also be used in `filter mode':
-When one of the arguments is `-', standard input is used, and lines
-with matching package names/patterns are echoed to standard output.
-.It Fl v
-Enable verbose output.
-Verbose output includes some English-text
-interpretations of the version number comparisons, as well as the
-version numbers compared for each package.
-Non-verbose output is
-probably easier for programs or scripts to parse.
-.It Ar index
-Specify the index to be used as a basis of comparison.
-This index can
-be specified as a filename (in the local file system) or a URL.
-Any
-URL understandable by
-.Xr fetch 1
-can be used here.
-If no
-.Ar index
-file is specified on the command line,
-.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX-8
-is used.
-.El
-.Sh FILES
-.Bl -tag -width /usr/ports/INDEX-8 -compact
-.It Pa /usr/ports/INDEX-8
-Default index file.
-.El
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-The following is a typical invocation of the
-.Nm
-command, which checks the installed packages against the local ports
-index file:
-.Pp
-.Dl % pkg_version -v
-.Pp
-The command below generates a report against
-the version numbers in the on-line ports collection:
-.Pp
-.Dl % pkg_version http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-8
-.Pp
-The following command compares two package version strings:
-.Pp
-.Dl % pkg_version -t 1.5 1.5.1
-.Sh COMPATIBILITY
-The
-.Fl c
-option has been deprecated and is no longer supported.
