22  .Nd interact with the pkg database
23  .Sh SYNOPSIS
24  .Nm
25  .Sh DESCRIPTION
26  .Nm

28  Extreme care should be taken when using this command.
29  .Pp
30  Do not rely on this command.
31  The underlying schema is subject to change on any release.
32  Use
33  .Xr pkg-query 8 ,
34  .Xr pkg-rquery 8 ,
35  .Xr pkg-search 8
36  and
37  .Xr pkg-set 8
38  instead for querying and modifying the database.
