Show the pkg-message for matching packages.
pkg info -D zsh
tee
to save all the rapidly scrolling output from pkg install
commands, in text files in my /root directory, so I can read the messages later, since it all scrolls out of view far too quickly for me to read it all. Same with port builds, freebsd-update output, or any other sort of info I might need for later reference. For a simple example:
$ su -
root@dellfp15:~ # pkg install gimp | tee install_gimp.log
