UNTITLED() LOCAL UNTITLED() NAME portupdate-scan -- scan /usr/ports/UPDATING, showing sections for installed ports SYNOPSIS portupdate-scan [-dhmuVv] [-a yyyymmdd date] [-D portdir] [--help] [--version] DESCRIPTION Reads port-related files, including /usr/ports/UPDATING, and outputs those sections of UPDATING that might be pertinent to this system. Only sections that apply to recognize ports that are known, and not installed are omit- ted. The following options are available: -a yyyymmdd date only display sections later than the date specified in yyyymmdd format -D portsdir use portsdir as ports directory instead of /usr/ports -d output additional debugging information -h, --help output command usage information and exit -m for MIXED sections, show breakdown of which ports are installed and not installed. The verbose information from the v flag is a super- set of this. -u output information on uninstalled ports (default: off) -v output more verbose information -V, --version output version information and exit EXIT STATUS The portupdate-scan utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. FILES /usr/ports/UPDATING port update news /usr/ports/INDEX port index file /usr/ports/MOVED record of port renames and deletions EXAMPLES Basic normal operation: portupdate-scan To include details of installed/uninstalled ports for MIXED sections: portupdate-scan -m SEE ALSO ports(7) AUTHORS Alex Stangl <alex@stangl.us> BUGS The concept of machine-interpreting the AFFECTS: line in /usr/ports/UPDAT- ING, which were intended for human consumption, is dubious. It would be nice to evolve some more robust method for communicating this information. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly November 5, 2007 PORTUPDATE-SCAN(8)
