# NAME

`pkg_outdated` — compare installed packages and the ports tree

# SYNOPSIS

`pkg_outdated` | [`-mqvx`]

# DESCRIPTION

`pkg_outdated` checks installed packages and compares them to the ports tree. It displays packages that may need updating. Typical output is a subdirlist with comments, suitable for bulk building.

Options are as follows:

`-m`
  Causes `pkg_outdated` to always display the progress meter in cases it would not do so by default.
`-q`
  Quick check, only verifies the names and not full update signatures. Use is discouraged.
`-v`
  Verbose mode. Does not do anything yet.
`-x`
  Disable progress meter.
