"\h|SYNOPSIS|
- \c{\b{bpkg pkg-status}|\b{status} [<options>] <pkg>[\b{/}<ver>]...}
+ \c{\b{bpkg pkg-status}|\b{status} [<options>] [<pkg>[\b{/}<ver>]...]}
\h|DESCRIPTION|
The \cb{pkg-status} command prints the status of the specified packages
- or, if <ver> is specified, package versions. Note that the status is
- written to \cb{STDOUT}, not \cb{STDERR}.
+ or, if <ver> is specified, package versions. If no packages were
+ specified, then \cb{pkg-status} prints the status of all the held
+ packages (which are the packages that were explicitly built; see
+ \l{bpkg-pkg-build(1)}). Note that the status is written to \cb{STDOUT},
+ not \cb{STDERR}.
The status output format is regular. If several packages were specified,
then each line starts with the package name (and version, if specified)
