NAME
     pkg_chk - check, and optionally update, installed packages

SYNOPSIS
     pkg_chk [-aBbcfhiklNnrsuv] [-C conf] [-D tags] [-L file] [-P path]
             [-U tags]

DESCRIPTION
     pkg_chk verifies that the versions of installed packages matches those=
 in
     pkgsrc, optionally adding missing or updating mismatched packages.

     It can verify all installed packages, or check against a set of packag=
es
     based on the hostname, architecture, and other characteristics.

     When updating packages that depend on each other pkg_chk will skip dep=
en-
     dent packages to reduce unnecessary rebuilding.
