I appreciate your persistence! I was going mad trying to figure it out. IMHO this should be added to the pkg(8) man page. Maybe the EXAMPLES section?

But as others > were also inclined to suggest; I thought the output would be > related to *query* I do actually prefer the version I suggested based on pkg query, since I find it quite hard to see message boundaries in the pkg info output. With pkg query you can introduce any kind of separators (even multi-line) in the format string (and also print the origin and other information along with the message).

Simple! pkg info -D pkgname (or pkg info --pkg-message pkgname) --pkg-message, argh... I was *so* close! Thanks, Bob. Really appreciated! and for the record. I *did* read the man page.

I just guessed that pkg message might do it.
But no joy. How can I retrieve that information?
Not sure I understand what you are asking for...
Perhaps
"pkg info -D {pkgname}"
or
"pkg info -D -a"
?
"pkg help info" might also be useful.
Sorry if that's not what you were asking.
