that it prefaces the output with the package name.
This is useful for things like this:
# pkg_info -Qsa | awk -F : '{print $2 "\t" $1}' | sort -rn | expand -t 10
included into pkg_install according to the content of /var/db/pkg_install.conf
file, which specifies version and alternative location of the tools. Format
of the said file is very simple: one line which specifies revision of the
alternative version of the tools and their location separated by space,
i.e.:
20030102 /usr/local/sbin
This would allow bsd.port.mk to install and use up to date version of tools
on older system from ports.
Also add new `-P' flag to pkg_info, which causes it to report currently
installed version of package tools.

non-backward compatible changes in the format of packing list and handle
them gracefully;
- fix a longstanding issue with symlinks handling. Instead of recording
checksum for the file symlink points to, record checksum for the value
returned by readlink(2). For backward compatibility increase packing list
format minor version number and provide a fallback to a previous behaviour,
if package in question was created with older version of pkg_* tools;

names of installed packages;
- add new `-G' option to disable glob matching and revert to previous
behaviour (I have no idea why this could be necessary, though);
- add a new `-x' option, which instructs pkg_info(1) to treat supplied
arguments as a regular expressions.
For example:
$ pkg_info foo\* - displays information about all packages whose names start
from foo
$ pkg_info -G foo\*-1.1 - displays information about package named "foo*-1.1"
$ pkg_info -x ^foo.\* - displays information about all packages whose names
start from foo

avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
-q turns on "quiet" mode, where informational headers and such are not
dumped, just the information.
-L Shows full pathnames of files comprising a package. With -q,
this can be useful for doing fileset operations, such as
"du -s `pkg_info -q -L foo_bin`" to see how much space package
"foo_bin" is taking up.
