Using a man page entity might be questionable anyway: there is no man page for pkg on FreeBSD 9 and earlier unless ports-mgmt/pkg has been installed. (I'm not going to mention /usr/sbin/pkg, which should not have been given the same name because now we can't tell which "pkg" is being discussed. See how I didn't mention it there?) >> Further, I'd put the pkg cases first as the pkg_ tools are deprecated. > > I do not think that matters much. Agreed. Actually, until pkg_* is deprecated for 9.x and earlier, it is by far the most common.
