This is the Red Hat Package Manager. It is used to manipulate Red Hat packages, much in the same way as the pkg_* tools are used in FreeBSD and NetBSD. rpm's come in their own format, and are typically used in the Linux community for binary package administration.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
