pkgmk: Upgrade the package after making it.
$ pkgmk -d -u
try on your machine
The pkgmk
command is used in certain Unix-like operating systems to create a binary package from source files and install it on the system. Here's an explanation of the options used in the command:
-
-d
: This option is used to specify the directory where the package should be created. For example,pkgmk -d /tmp/pkg
would create the package in the/tmp/pkg
directory. -
-u
: This option tellspkgmk
to update an existing package. If the package already exists, this option will update it with any modifications made to the source files. If the package does not exist, it will be created as usual.
So, the command pkgmk -d -u
means to update the existing package in the default package directory with any changes made to the source files.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
