Wrapper script for macOS's `pkgutil` to list full pathnames of files in all packages, or packages matching a pattern

pkgutil-list-files

#!/bin/sh
pkgutil --packages \
  | if [[ "$1" ]]; then grep -i "$1"; else cat; fi \
  | perl -nE '
        #line 5 "pkgutil-list-files"
        chomp;
        print STDERR "# scanning $_…\n";
        $location = `pkgutil --pkg-info $_`;
        $location =~ s/.*location: (.*?)\n.*/$1/s;
        print STDERR "# location: $1\n";
        print STDERR "# running \`pkgutil --files $_\`";
        open $fh, "-|", "pkgutil --files $_";
        while ($path = <$fh>) {
            $pkgfile = $location ? "/$location/$path" : "/$path";
            # `if -f $pkgfile` doesn’t work here for some reason :(
            print "$_\t$pkgfile";
        }
        close $fh;
    '

The first column of the output (tab-separated) is the package name. If you are brave enough to xargs rm the output of this command, then pipe through cut -f2 first to get the second column.

Remove or comment out print STDERR statements if it's too chatty for you, or simply pkgutil-list-files 2>/dev/null to suppress them for a single run.
