-

Is there an equivalent of pacman -Sp ?
-

Here are the details of the command <https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacman.8>
-

Are there any OpenBSD:: modules that can be used to print the entire
resolved dependency tree for a certain package to STDOUT?

If I download a package, with its required dependencies, to a local
directory, can I install the package with pkg_add?

How does pkg_add handle package verification? Do I need to do anything
after downloading the package files, or will pkg_add take care of it on
its own?

-

What I am trying to do is, generate a dependency tree for a package
-

and then download all the required files onto a local folder and then
-

point pkg_add to the local folder as the source. Is it possible?
-

Please let me know, I don't know the correct words to look up in the manuals
hence the question.
