Solved How to redisplay pkg messages

[balanga]

How do I go about showing post installation pkg messages after a pkg has been installed?

 

[mer]

if it's installed:
pkg info --pkg-message blah

man pkg-info

pkg info -D ...

Yep, pkg info -D <packagename>. Another interesting one is pkg info -Da, this will show all package messages for everything you have installed. Useful if you can't remember which package showed the message you're looking for.

     -a, --all
             Display all installed packages.
{...}
     -D, --pkg-message
             Show the pkg-message for matching packages.

See pkg-info(8)

Just to clarify. -a Display messages for all manually installed packages or only the dependencies of the requested package.
EDIT: Whoops! I just saw that you didn't put pkg info -Da <pkg-name>, it seems more logical.

Display messages for all manually installed packages or only the dependencies of the requested package.

All installed packages, in other words, everything.
