pkg: Upgrade all installed packages.

$ pkg upgrade

try on your machine

The command "pkg upgrade" is used in package management systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and TrueOS to upgrade the installed software packages on the system.

When this command is executed, the package manager (in this case "pkg") checks for any updates or newer versions of the installed packages in the software repositories. It then downloads and installs those updates to upgrade the installed packages to their latest versions.

This command is commonly used to keep the software packages on a system up to date, ensuring that any security vulnerabilities or bugs in the installed software are patched and fixed. It helps to maintain the overall stability, security, and functionality of the system by upgrading the packages to their most recent versions.
