Whatever.
The requirement isn't the problem.
That the resulting error messages are obscure and the man page is obtuse is.
e.g. pkgfmt(1):
-c Check if the manifest is formatted in the pkgfmt style.
Pulling in 17815 might be of benefit here:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=17815
But that's not really complete.
What "pkgfmt style" is should be documented because it is not the
same as a text file that simply has contents that agree with pkg(5).
