from man pkg_which

Inquire which package file came from.  If the file is not
present, pkg_which calls which(1) to search PATH for the

i am rather looking for something that helps me find files i do _not_ have
already installed. i remember Debian Linux having a package search[1]
which is very helpful when you need to install a certain file and don't know
what has to be installed.
