PORTLESS(1) General Commands Manual PORTLESS(1) NAME portless -- quickly browse port descriptions SYNOPSIS portless [-dfIiMmp] [-gG 'pattern'] [-P pager] portglob... portless [-IWw] [-gG 'pattern'] portglob... DESCRIPTION portless lets FreeBSD users quickly browse port descriptions given the port's name or a (shell type) glob. The options are as follows: -d Display the pkg-descr file of the port. This is the default. -f Take the portglob argument literal (not as a shell glob). -gG 'pattern' Filter the list of selected files with grep(1) . Option -G differs from -g only by using fgrep rather than grep. -I Ignore case when matching portglob against the ports tree. This option is only effective if portglob contains at least one unquoted globbing meta-character ( `*', `?', or `[' ). Used together with -g it also greps case insensitively. -i Display the distinfo file of the port. -M Display the Makefile file of the port. -m Display the pkg-message file of the port. -p Display the pkg-plist file of the port. -P pager Use the specified pager program to display matching files. This overrides the setting of the PAGER environment variable. -w Rather than browsing files inside the ports tree just echo the names of directories matching portglob to stdout. -W Like -w but echoes just the last two components of the direc- tory (i.e. category/portname ) to stdout. Options -W and -w are incompatible with all other options. ENVIRONMENT The portless command uses the following environment variables: PAGER defaults to "less -e" PORTSDIR defaults to /usr/ports FILES /usr/ports/*/*/* EXAMPLES The following are examples of typical usage of the portless command: portless cvsweb\* portless lang/\*doc portless 'www/*python*' SEE ALSO The ports_glob(1) command (part of the ports-mgmt/portupgrade port), grep(1). AUTHOR The portless utility and this manual page were written by Martin Kammerhofer <mkamm@gmx.net>. FreeBSD ports 15.0 September 21, 2007 PORTLESS(1)
