View source for OSX/Pkg packages

First, find package in {{filename|/Library/Receipts}} and find the bom-file: {{filename|/Library/Receipts/<PACKAGE>/Contents/Archive.bom}}. The bom-file contains information about the packages installed files. OSX ships with two tools to handle bom-files, mkbom and lsbom. To uninstall a .pkg package you can use lsbom to list all files installed and batch remove them by piping to xargs rm or similar.

<shellbox title="List files installed by a package" lang="bash" noline>
lsbom Archive.bom -f -l -s Archive.bom
</shellbox>

<shellbox title="Remove all files" lang="bash" noline>
lsbom -f -l -s -pf Archive.bom | (cd /; xargs -n 1 rm)
</shellbox>
