Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much more lightweight and unobtrusive. If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your terminal emulation software. It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line, and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can filter your text through something like the unix "fmt" command. It provides a nice spell-checking interface too.

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
