PORTFIND(1) Search the ports collection PORTFIND(1) NAME portfind - find ports with detailed and short view SYNOPSIS portfind [-a] [-d] [-p] [-m] [-D] [-f] [-n] [-r] [-h] [-v] search_word DESCRIPTION portfind finds ports by name (default). It is able to search in other fields than name (see OPTIONS). It also looks if a port is already in- stalled and tells the user the installed version number. portfind uses /usr/ports/INDEX-X (X stands for the version) and /var/db/pkg. Please be sure, you updated your index file (cd to /usr/ports and do make index) after every port sync.
