more appropriate would be... # - w/ -x pkg_info(1) option, a pattern (instead of complete # name) can be specifed # # - the more important addition is of egrep(1) to remove unwanted # output of pkg_info(1); otherwise ls(1) would complain for # obvious reasons # pkg_info -L -x <pattern> | \ egrep -v '^(Info.*:|Files|$)' | xargs ls -l >/dev/null - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
