.SH "NAME"

\fBport\fR [\fB\-D\fR \fIportdir\fR] \fBspace\fR [\-\-units \fIunit\fR] [\fItotal\fR]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBport space\fR lists the amount of disk space the port(s) given on the command line occupy on disk\&. Note that the space reported is for the files installed by a port, but not the image of the port\(cqs files MacPorts keeps internally\&. See the \fBPORT IMAGES\fR section for more information on how images work\&. Consequently, \fBport space\fR will only work on active ports\&.
.sp
By default, \fBport space\fR will print a line with the size in an appropriate unit followed by the name of a port for each port given on the command line (or expanded from a pseudo\-port expression given; see \fBport\fR(1) for more info on pseudo\-port expressions)\&. The last line of output will contain a total\&.
.sp
If you are only interested in the total of all ports (e\&.g\&. if you want to get the total amount of space used by your installed ports) use the \fB\-\-total\fR flag\&. If you want to sort the output by file size, you can pipe the results of \fBport space\fR to \fBsort \-n\fR\&. Since \fBport space\fR defauts to using a suitable unit, you should specify a unit to allow for meaningful numeric sorting, e\&.g\&. \fBport space \-\-units KiB\fR to get all output in KiB\&.

.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
.sp
Please see the section \fBGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR in the \fBport\fR(1) man page for a description of global port options\&.
.SH "PORT IMAGES"
.sp
MacPorts has the ability to install multiple versions or different variant selections of the same port\&. The files will be stored in an intermediate location as \fIarchives\fR, which allows to switch between the versions\&. Only one version can be active at a time\&. On activation, files will be copied to their intended place in \fIprefix\fR\&.
.sp
More information on this topic can be found in the \m[blue]\fBThe MacPorts Guide\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&.
.sp
To check the current status of a specific port, use \fB\fBport-installed\fR(1)\fR\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
To find the 10 largest ports in your MacPorts installation, you can use the following command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$> port space \-\-units MiB active | sort \-rn | head \-n10
