Solved apt-file command in Port system

[m_pahlevanzadeh]

Debian Package management has a command it called apt-file, It can search for a file on repository:

apt-file search nc

It search for NetCat in repository and returns a package that contain nc command.
Now, I have set of header file and I want to install them, How can I find their package name?

If I understand correctly: ports-mgmt/pkg-provides

I installed it, But When I use `pkg plugin` I don't see this plugin:
# pkg plugin
NAME DESC VERSION
/usr/ports/{111}#

<https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/pkg-provides/#message>

Then, for example:

% pkg provides libswlo.so
Name    : libreoffice6-6.4.7_19
Desc    : Full integrated office productivity suite
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/libswlo.so

Name    : libreoffice-7.2.4.1_1
Desc    : Full integrated office productivity suite
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/lib/libreoffice/program/libswlo.so
%

# pkg provides
pkg: unknown command: provides

For more information on available commands and options see 'pkg help'.

In order to use the pkg-provides plugin you need to enable plugins in pkg.

To do this, uncomment the following lines in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf file and add pkg-provides to the supported plugin list:
PKG_PLUGINS_DIR = "/usr/local/lib/pkg/";
PKG_ENABLE_PLUGINS = true;
PLUGINS [ provides ];

Did you do this?

Yeah, it's necessary to (first) do what's described in the package message. The link above ;-)

That's very useful. Thank you.
