45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46.Nm
47is the package management tool.
48It is used to manage local packages installed from
49.Xr ports 7
50and install/upgrade packages from remote repositories.
51.Pp
52To avoid backwards incompatibility issues, the actual
53.Xr pkg 8
54tool is not installed in the base system.
55The first time invoked,
56.Nm
57will bootstrap the real
58.Xr pkg 8
59from a remote repository.
60.Bl -tag -width "pkg bootstrap"
61.It Nm Ao Ar command Ac
62If
63.Xr pkg 8
64is not installed yet, it will be fetched, have its signature verified,
65installed, and then have the original command forwarded to it.
66If already installed, the command requested will be forwarded to the real
67.Xr pkg 8 .
68.It Nm Li add Oo Fl f Oc Ao Pa pkg.txz Ac
69Install
70.Xr pkg 8
71from a local package instead of fetching from remote.
72If signature checking is enabled, then the correct signature file
73must exist and the signature valid before the package will be installed.
74If the
75.Fl f
76flag is specified, then
77.Xr pkg 8
78will be installed regardless if it is already installed.
79.It Nm Fl N
80Do not bootstrap, just determine if
81.Xr pkg 8
82is actually installed or not.
83Returns 0 and the number of packages installed
84if it is, otherwise 1.
85.It Nm Li bootstrap Op Fl f
86Attempt to bootstrap and do not forward anything to
87.Xr pkg 8
88after it is installed.
89If the
90.Fl f
91flag is specified, then
92.Xr pkg 8
93will be fetched and installed regardless if it is already installed.
94.El
