It's an alias defined in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf. "pkg alias" should
show the configured aliases. If you've edited pkg.conf at some point
later updates won't touch it. The alias section of mine reads
# Sample alias settings
ALIAS : {
all-depends: query %dn-%dv,
annotations: info -A,
build-depends: info -qd,
cinfo: info -Cx,
comment: query -i "%c",
csearch: search -Cx,
desc: query -i "%e",
download: fetch,
iinfo: info -ix,
isearch: search -ix,
prime-list: "query -e '%a = 0' '%n'",
prime-origins: "query -e '%a = 0' '%o'",
leaf: "query -e '%#r == 0' '%n-%v'",
list: info -ql,
noauto = "query -e '%a == 0' '%n-%v'",
options: query -i "%n - %Ok: %Ov",
origin: info -qo,
provided-depends: info -qb,
rall-depends: rquery %dn-%dv,
raw: info -R,
rcomment: rquery -i "%c",
