pkgutil 命令

常用示例

说明

pkgutil is macOS's package receipt management utility. It queries the installer database to list installed packages, show package metadata, verify installation integrity, and list files belonging to a package. The --forget command removes a package receipt from the database without deleting any installed files, useful for cleaning up stale entries. The --expand command extracts a .pkg archive for inspection. Package identifiers use reverse-DNS notation (e.g., com.apple.pkg.Safari). Note that pkgutil manages receipts only - it cannot install or uninstall packages. Use installer for installation and manual removal for uninstallation.
