My response is less useful since it's totally off topic :-) but here goes:

You don't have to pipe to grep for that, the same result comes from
just giving rlwrap as an argument to -c, like this:

# pkgutil -c rlwrap

You can also add more packages to select, like this:

# pkgutil -c rlwrap bash perl

Which would otherwise take something hard to type like this to get the
same result:

# pkgutil -c | egrep 'rlwrap|bash|perl'

This works with most of the query options in pkgutil such as -a/A/c/C
and so on. Just a reminder since I see so many piping to grep.
