I have a feeling that most people who use "pkg contents" just pipe it through grep or less to look for individual actions if they're looking for something in particular, but I've been frustrated by the need for that, and the fact that coming up with the right regular expression is a bit of a pain ("\<path=[^ ]*/ls", for instance).So I've been dreaming about an option to contents that allows you to filter by attribute value. So I could say, for instance: pkg contents -o path,target -a path=\*.desktop openoffice
Looks a lot like 'zfs get/list' :-) Yes we need this. I don't if contents is the best or only pkg(1) subcommand for it but I really need that functionality.
