Hi
FYI
Re: 
<https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/info/PkgBase?action=diff&rev2=94&rev1=93>
The cat approach in the wiki was ambiguous, it failed for me as shown 
below. At the '> ' prompt, I keyed Control-C to regain a normal prompt.
The example that's now in the wiki should be a valid JSON text data 
file. (Not that strict JSON is essential, it's simply a good example.)
