OK I'm a by ports make install as a rule. But I needed to

important information after the install. I stripped the
text from the console/terminal, and tried to paste it into
a fresh file. But the new graphics drivers don't allow
that sort of thing (graphics vs text mode). So I was left
with mostly gibberish. I need to get that information back.
I just guessed that pkg message <port-name> 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.
