# Display info about installed packages.
#
# Inspired by Slackware pkgtool (some code has
# been simply adapted and translated to bash).
#
# Dependencies:
#       bash, test/[, ls, sed, printf, less

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Usage: pkginfo [ -l | PACKAGE ]
        -l              list installed packages
        PACKAGE         view PACKAGE info

NOTES:
   when PACKAGE match more packages, a short list is displayed:

   pkginfo p                         # list of "p*" packages
   pkginfo pkgtools                  # "pkgtools" info
   pkginfo -l | grep "tool"          # "*tool*" list (!match description too!)
   pkginfo -l | grep "^[^ ]*tool"    # "*tool*" list (match only package name)

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Usage: pkginfo++ [ -l | -p PACKAGE | -f FILE | -h ]
        -l              list installed packages
        -p PACKAGE      view PACKAGE info
        -f FILE         query package owning FILE
        -h              display this message

NOTES:
 - when PACKAGE match more packages, a short list is displayed:

   pkginfo++ -p p                      # list of "p*" packages
   pkginfo++ -p pkgtools               # "pkgtools" info
   pkginfo++ -l | grep "tool"          # "*tool*" list (!match description too!)
   pkginfo++ -l | grep "^[^ ]*tool"    # "*tool*" list (match only package name)

 - the '$' character match the end of line

   pkginfo++ -f /usr/bin/time          # package(s) that owns /usr/bin/time*
   pkginfo++ -f /usr/bin/time$         # package(s) that owns /usr/bin/time
   pkginfo++ -f `which ls`             # package(s) that owns /bin/ls*
   pkginfo++ -f `which ls`$            # package(s) that owns /bin/ls

 - since unused in packages "FILE LIST" section, the first slash is always
   removed. Use '//' to force a starting slash (useful for partial paths).

   pkginfo++ -f time                   # match any file name that contains "time"
   pkginfo++ -f time$                  # match any file name that ends with "time"
   pkginfo++ -f //time                 # match any file name that begins with "time"
   pkginfo++ -f //time$                # match any file named exactly "time"
