Strange, on
FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r264364: Sat Apr 12 10:34:56 CEST 2014 amd64
I get this:
root@thor: [All] man pkg-add
PKG-ADD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PKG-ADD(8)
NAME
pkg add -- Registers a package and installs it on the system
SYNOPSIS
pkg add [-IAfq] pkg-name ...
pkg add [-IAfq] <protocol>://<path>/<pkg-name> ...
DESCRIPTION
pkg add installs packages from either a local source or a remote one.
When installing from a remote source you need to specify the protocol to
use when fetching the package.
Currently supported protocols are FTP, HTTP and HTTPS.
Otherwise, pkg add will read the file named on the command line.
If this is a regular file, and the package to be installed has unmet
dependencies, pkg add will search the directory containing pkg-name for
suitable pkg archive files to fulfill those dependencies. If pkg-name is
literally - then it will read the package data from stdin. pkg add will
automatically detect and unpack most common compression formats based on
the content of the data stream it reads, ignoring any extension the file-
name may have.
If this involves reading from a pipe (including stdin), fifo, socket or
some other non-regular form of input stream then pkg add will immediately
emit an error if pkg-name has unmet dependencies.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg add:
-I If any installation scripts (pre-install or post-install) exist for
given packages, do not execute them.
-A Mark the installed packages as orphan. Will be automatically removed
if no other packages depend on them. For more information please
refer to pkg-autoremove(8)
-f Force the reinstallation of the package if already installed.
-q Force quiet output.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg add. See
pkg.conf(5) for further description.
ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES
HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS
PKG_DBDIR
FILES
See pkg.conf(5).
