If you have the source code of pkgsrc available, you can run:

    grep '/libutil\.h' $PKGSRCDIR/*/*/PLIST*

This command works for all packages that have a fixed list of files they
install. For the other packages, this command doesn't work.

If you have the binary package already installed, you can run:

    pkg_info -Fe /usr/pkg/include/libutil.h
