Hi,

I think `-d` and `-r` options for `pkg info` are misdocumented in the manpage.

As per manpage:

-d Display the list of packages which depend on .
-r Display the list of packages required by .

which as far as I can understand means:

-d = display list of dependents
-r = display list of dependencies

whereas actually, it does:

chateau.d.if!abbe:emacs % pkg info -d emacs
emacs-24.0.93.107364,1 depends on:

chateau.d.if!abbe:emacs % pkg info -r emacs
emacs-24.0.93.107364,1 is required by:

which as far as I can understand means:

-d = displaying list of dependencies
-r = displaying list of dependenents

Thanks
Ashish
