/var/backups/pkg.sql.zst [ recovered ] that I would like to compare to a nearly-identical ZST [good ] file, to check which packages are listed in one and not the other, but
operate on the backup file by pkg and/or some other CLI methodology... Not a pressing issue here but I'd like to get it done eventually. Thanks. [

pkg info lacks the specific parameter [ show ports information such as by-origin ] if the -F is given also [ required to view the backup one and not the default one ] further, gives a 'unrecognized file format' when operating on the unpacked [ no longer ZST ] file. The unpacked file shows such items as sysutils/disktype [ essentially only the information I'd like to extract from the backup, but it is surrounded by commas and no whitespace, for many additional lines, essentially making the category/port part of its own multi-line WORD. so cannot easily be grepped, sed'd , to extract the file listing. Additionally, the file itself is way huge. There should [ maybe is ] be a standard way tooperate on the backup file by pkg and/or some other CLI methodology... Not a pressing issue here but I'd like to get it done eventually. Thanks. [
sqlitebrowser shows only ten or so of the thousand ports, in the screen that pops up... ]
