pkgrecv(1), Content Retrieval Utility
The pkgrecv command enables the user to retrieve the manifest and contents of
a package from a package repository. The contents can be retrieved in a
format that enables the user to modify the package and republish it by
using the pkgsend command.
The pkgrecv command is complementary to the pkgsend command.
The following options are supported with the pkgrecv command.
