PKG_CHECK-VERSION(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual PKG_CHECK-VERSION(1)
NAME
pkg_check-version - verify parsing and ordering of package names
SYNOPSIS
pkg_check-version [-Hv] pkgname ...
DESCRIPTION
pkg_check-version takes a list of pkgname and processes them.
o each name is parsed and checked for issues.
o in addition, comparable names (same stem and same flavor) are sorted
from older to newer version.
Options are as follows:
-H displays a human-readable version of each pkgname (full version
parsing, including known suffixes, dewey numbers parsing, REVISION,
EPOCH, flavor markers).
-v verbose mode, which will explicitly state pkgname with no issues and
sort one element lists.
EXIT STATUS
The pkg_check-version utility exits with 0, unless one of the pkgname was
malformed, or two names are actually non comparable (such as
`moo-1.23pre1' and `moo-1.23rc1').
