Verifying File System Content
In addition to verifying installed packages, the pkg verify
command can verify installed directories, files, and links.
The following example uses the -p
option to show the same information that was shown by doing a full verify of all installed packages in the previous section:
$ pkg verify -p var/cache/pkg/depot
PACKAGE STATUS
pkg://nightly/package/pkg/depot ERROR
dir: var/cache/pkg/depot
ERROR: Group: 'pkg5srv (97)' should be 'bin (2)'
In the following example, because the file verification status is OK, no output is shown unless the -v
option is added:
$ pkg verify -vp etc/sudoers
PACKAGE STATUS
pkg://nightly/security/sudo OK
file: etc/sudoers
