NAME
       portclippy -- lint FreeBSD Ports	Collection Makefiles

SYNOPSIS
       portclippy [--strict] [Makefile]

DESCRIPTION
       portclippy is a tool for	linting	FreeBSD	Ports Collection Makefiles.

       At the moment it	only checks variable order and is a companion tool for
       portlint(1).

       If  the	optional  Makefile argument is not given, the Makefile will be
       read from stdin.

       portclippy will output a	skeleton view of the port.  It can be used  to
       check  if  a variable is	in the right position.	It is heavily inspired
       by Chapter 15 of	the Porter's Handbook and provides an  objective  mea-
       sure for	it.

       Variables  in wrong positions will be marked with -.  The position they
       should appear in	is marked with a +.

       Variables that start with an underscore _ will be ignored.

       The following options are available:

       --strict
	       For unknown variables do	not check if they are referenced else-
	       where in	the Makefile and always	report them.  Without this op-
	       tion referenced but otherwise unknown  variables	 will  be  ig-
	       nored.

ENVIRONMENT
       The following environment variables affect the execution	of portclippy:

       CLICOLOR_FORCE  If defined portclippy will output text with ANSI	colors
		       even when stdout	is not a tty or	NO_COLOR is set.

       NO_COLOR	       If defined colors will be disabled.

EXIT STATUS
       portclippy  will	 exit with 0 if	it could not find a problem, and >0 if
       there are issues.

EXAMPLES
       $ portclippy Makefile
       # BLOCK_PORTNAME
       PORTNAME
       DISTVERSION
       CATEGORIES
       MASTER_SITES

       # BLOCK_MAINTAINER
       MAINTAINER
       COMMENT

       # BLOCK_LICENSE
       LICENSE
       LICENSE_FILE

       # BLOCK_DEPENDS
       +RUN_DEPENDS

       # BLOCK_USES
       +USES

       -RUN_DEPENDS

       The output of portclippy	is inspired by unified diff(1)	output.	  Here
       RUN_DEPENDS  is	in  the	 wrong	position (marked with -) and should be
       moved to	before USES (marked with +).
