I managed to found /usr/sbin/pkg_add but LOL, thanks for the good laugh. That's typical for pkg_add(1). There are few programs in the tree - even including unmaintained legacy stuff - where it is harder to find anything. In pkg_add(1), code for each object is typically scattered across many files, each file typically mixes code for many different objects, the filenames almost never correspond to the names of the objects they implement, and many functions are so small that they do almost nothing, making call trees hard to unravel. Have fun hunting your wild geese! Ingo
