PORTSEARCH(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual PORTSEARCH(1)
NAME
portsearch - A utility for searching the ports tree.
SYNOPSIS
portsearch [-h] [-n name] [-p path] [-i info] [-m maint] [-x index] [-b
b_deps] [-r r_deps] [-d deps] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
portsearch is a utility to for searching of the ports tree. It permits
much more detailed searches to be performed than ``make search
key=<string>'' by allowing you to specify which field(s) to search. It
also supports all valid perl(1) regular expressions for pattern matching.
portsearch displays matching ports in the same format as ``make search''
and also displays the number of matching ports found.
The following command line options are supported:
-h Prints a multi-line help message and exits
-n name Search for name in the name field
-p path Search for path in the path field
-i info Search for info in the comments field
-m maint Search for maint in the Maintainer field
-x index Search for index in the category field
-b b_deps Search for b_deps in the build-depends field
-r r_deps Search for r_deps in the run-depends field
-d deps Search for deps in the both the build and run dependency
fields. This option behaves differently to the other op-
tions, see the EXAMPLES section
-f file Use the index file file instead of /usr/ports/INDEX
All searches are case-insensitive
/usr/ports/INDEX is not updated everytime a change is made to the ports
tree so in order to get the most accurate results from using portsearch
you should consider rebuilding the index thus:
# cd /usr/ports && make index
FILES
/usr/ports/INDEX The ports master index file
EXAMPLES
Find all ports whose name contains "emacs":
portsearch -n emacs
Restrict the search to only those ports whose name begins with "emacs" by
anchoring the match to the beginning of the name:
portsearch -n ^emacs
Find all the ports in the textproc, print, and www categories that are
maintained by Nik or Jim and have a run-time dependency on the tidy(1)
port:
portsearch -x '(textproc|print|www)' -m '(nik|jim)' -r tidy
Note that the regular expression operators have to be quoted to protect
them from the shell.
The behaviour of the -d deps option is slightly different to the other
search options. If used it makes portsearch search both the build- and
run-dependency fields. If the -b b_deps and/or the -r r_deps are used as
well then they are ignored; the deps pattern is used to search both
fields.
Note that
portsearch -d foobar
is not the same as
portsearch -b foobar -r foobar
Normally all the options are logically ANDed together so in the above ex-
ample a port would need to have both a build and run dependency on
"foobar" to match, whereas the -d option logically ORs the two dependency
fields so that only a single dependency is required for a match. This is
primarily to provide an easy way of generating a list of all the depen-
dencies of a port; handy if the maintainer is making changes and needs to
know which other ports may be affected.
DIAGNOSTICS
portsearch exits 0 on success or 1 if a help message was output.

BUGS
The "Index" field would probably be better named "Category" but it has
been left unchanged to be consistent with ``make search''.
perl(1) treats ``-'' as a word boundary so when a dependency field is
wrapped over more than one line a port name may get split like this:
gettext-0.10.35 jpeg-6b libproplist-0.10.1 libungif-
4.1.0 png-1.0.6
