PKG-SHELL(8)	       DragonFly System Manager's Manual	  PKG-SHELL(8)


NAME

     pkg shell -- interact with the pkg database


SYNOPSIS

     pkg shell


DESCRIPTION

     pkg shell is used to interact with the local or remote database through a
     sqlite3 console.  Extreme care should be taken when using this command.

     Do not rely on this command.  The underlying schema is subject to change
     on any release.  Use pkg-query(8), pkg-rquery(8), pkg-search(8) and
     pkg-set(8) instead for querying and modifying the database.  These com-
     mands are expected to have a stable API, unlike the database schema.


ENVIRONMENT

     The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg shell.
     See pkg.conf(5) for further description.

     PKG_DBDIR


FILES

     See pkg.conf(5).
