This provides description for a specific package: $ pkg_info -d pkg_mgr Description: pkg_mgr is a high-level, user-friendly package browser for OpenBSD.. This installs a package: $ pkg_add -vvvvv pkg_mgr The cvsweb has a category sysutils for more ports like pkg_mgr: [http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/sysutils/] You use the pkg_mgr to quickly browse, pkg_add to install, and cvsweb to read ports details should you need these. For some additional web based convenience you can at times query the external page: [http://openports.se/sysutils]
