PORTAL(1) General Commands Manual PORTAL(1) NAME portal -- Front-end to pkg(8) SYNOPSIS portal [-a] DESCRIPTION Front-end to pkg(8). portal provides the following features: packages listing and searching, in- stallation and deinstallation of packages, and filtering based on the pack- age state. OPTIONS The following option is supported by portal: -v Display the current version of portal. INTERFACE The user interface is made of two panels: the upper one displays a list of packages sorted by category, and the bottom one displays the description of the currently highlighted package. Between those two panels lies an indica- tor of the currently selected mode. In the upper panel which displays the packages list, the following data ap- pear from left to right: Status The following markers are displayed depending on the package status: + The package is installed locally +[-] The package is installed locally and marked to be deleted +[^] The package is installed locally and is upgradable, meaning a newer version is available from remote repositories +[+] The package is installed locally and marked to be up- graded - The package is not installed locally -[+] The package is not installed locally and marked to be installed Name The package name Local version The current version of the package if it is installed Remote version The latest version of the package available from remote reposi- tories The lower panel displays the currently selected package's comment line as found in the port's Makefile, together with its longer comment as found in the port's pkg-descr file. The mode indicator found at the center of the screen between the two main panels highlights the current mode. Its name will also shortly appear above the indicator when switching mode. MODES By pressing the TAB key, the user can switch between the following three available modes: Browse This is the default mode, which displays the list of all pack- ages without any filtering. Search In this mode, one can search the list of packages for a given string. Filter Four available filters can be applied to the list of packages when this mode is selected. The four filters can be toggled on or off by pressing the first letter of the filter name: (A)vailable To show or hide the available packages (those present in the remote repository but not yet installed). (I)nstalled To show or hide installed packages. (P)ending To show or hide packages that have a pending action on them, meaning they are either marked as to be in- stalled or removed. (U)pgradable To show or hide packages that are installed locally but for which a newer version can be found in the re- mote repository. KEYBINDINGS TAB Cycle between modes. Ctrl-C Quit Ctrl-X Apply pending actions (proceed with the installation / deinstal- lation of packages). Ctrl-SPC Mark currently highlighted package for installation. Ctrl-D Mark currently highlighted package for deletion. Ctrl-N Move down within the listing panel. Ctrl-P Move up within the listing panel. PageUp Scroll up the description panel.
