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 an index file with the name "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
