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 tells pkgmk 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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
