        salt '*' pkg.stats

    local
        Display stats only for the local package database.

        CLI Example:

            salt '*' pkg.stats local=True

    remote
        Display stats only for the remote package database(s).

        CLI Example:

        .. code-block:: bash

            salt '*' pkg.stats remote=True

    jail
        Retrieve stats from the specified jail.

        CLI Example:

        .. code-block:: bash

            salt '*' pkg.stats jail=<jail name or id>
            salt '*' pkg.stats jail=<jail name or id> local=True
            salt '*' pkg.stats jail=<jail name or id> remote=True

    chroot
        Retrieve stats from the specified chroot (ignored if ``jail`` is
        specified).

    root
        Retrieve stats from the specified root (ignored if ``jail`` is
        specified).

        CLI Example:

            salt '*' pkg.stats chroot=/path/to/chroot local=True
            salt '*' pkg.stats chroot=/path/to/chroot remote=True
    '''

    opts = ''
    if local:
        opts += 'l'
    if remote:
        opts += 'r'

    cmd = _pkg(jail, chroot, root)
    cmd.append('stats')
    if opts:
        cmd.append('-' + opts)
    out = __salt__['cmd.run'](cmd, output_loglevel='trace', python_shell=False)
    return [x.strip('\t') for x in salt.utils.itertools.split(out, '\n')]
