Description: | |
There is one very handy package on OpenBSD named `pkglocatedb` | |
which provides the command `pkglocate`. | |
If you need to find a file or binary/program and you don't know | |
which package contains it, use pkglocate. | |
$ pkglocate */bin/exiftool | |
p5-Image-ExifTool-12.00:graphics/p5-Image-ExifTool:/usr/local/bin/exift | |
ool | |
With the result, I know that the package `p5-Image-ExifTool` will | |
provide me | |
the command `exiftool`. | |
Another example looking for files containing the pattern "libc++" | |
$ pkglocate libc++ | |
base67:/usr/lib/libc++.so.5.0 | |
base67:/usr/lib/libc++abi.so.3.0 | |
comp67:/usr/lib/libc++.a | |
comp67:/usr/lib/libc++_p.a | |
comp67:/usr/lib/libc++abi.a | |
comp67:/usr/lib/libc++abi_p.a | |

As you can see, base sets are also in the database used by pkglocate, | |
so you can easily find if a file is from a set (that you should | |
have) or if the file comes from a package. | |
## Find which package installed a file | |
Klemmens Nanni (kn@) told me it's possible to find which package | |
installed a file present in the filesystem using `pkg_info` command | |
which comes from the base system. This can be handy to know from | |
which package an installed file comes from, without requiring | |
pkglocatedb. | |
$ pkg_info -E /usr/local/bin/convert | |
/usr/local/bin/convert: ImageMagick-6.9.10.86p0 | |
ImageMagick-6.9.10.86p0 image processing tools | |
This tells me `convert` binary was installed by ImageMagick package. |
