Just like any other software update, run the following with privilege:

	pkg update

Also, you can run:

	pkg update -n

to get a dry-run and set your expectations (e.g. if you haven't got the recent kernel fix, you'll find out with -n whether or not you need to reboot).

And if you want BIG details (can be verbose with large numbers of packages);

	pkg update -nv
