.Sh NAME
.Nm port
.Nd build darwin ports
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl vdqfonausbck
.Op Fl D Ar portdir
.Ar target
.Op Ar portname
.Op Ar options ...
.Op Ar variants ...
.Nm
.Ic provides
.Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is designed to read and execute the build instructions of a darwin port. If no 
.Ar portdir
or
.Ar portname
is specified, the current working directory is assumed.
If no
.Ar target
is specified, the usage is displayed.
Port 
.Ar options 
are specified as key=value pairs and take precedence over individual port options and system-wide settings.
Port
.Ar variants
are specified as +name, which indicates the variant is desired, and -name, which indicates the 
variant is not desired. In case of ambiguities, a port can be fully specified with the format
.Ar version_revision+variants
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width -indent
.It Fl v
verbose mode (generate verbose messages)
.It Fl d
debug mode (generate debugging messages; implies
.Fl v )
.It Fl q
quiet mode (suppress messages)
.It Fl c
autoclean mode (execute clean after install)
.It Fl k
keep mode (don't autoclean after install)
.It Fl D
specify
.Ar portdir
.It Fl f
force mode (ignore state file)
.It Fl o
honor state files older than Portfile
.El
.Sh TARGETS
.Nm
knows several targets. The most important is the "install" target, which installs the supplied port to its final destination on the system.
.Pp
The other targets are:
.Pp
.Dl uninstall
.Dl deactivate
.Dl activate
.Dl clean
.Dl distclean
.Dl search
.Dl list
.Dl contents
.Dl deps
.Dl variants
.Dl info 
.Pp
Besides the main targets
.Nm
takes each single stage of the port building process as a possible target. These
stages (besides "install") are:
.Pp
.Dl fetch
.Dl extract
.Dl patch
.Dl configure
.Dl build
.Dl destroot
.Dl test
.Pp
There are also targets for packaging ports:
.Pp
.Dl pkg
.Dl mpkg
.Dl dmg
.Dl rpmpackage
.Pp
Additionally, the
.Ic provides
command determines which port owns a given file.
.Sh EXAMPLES
Invoking
.Nm
with the "install" target on the "vim" port:
.Pp
.Dl "port install vim
.Pp
To uninstall a port, invoke
.Nm
with the "uninstall" target:
.Pp
.Dl "port uninstall vim
.Pp
To clean up after the port was build:
.Pp
.Dl "port clean vim
.Pp
To remove a port's distfiles:
.Pp
.Dl "port distclean vim
.Pp
To deactivate a port (in image mode):
.Pp
.Dl "port deactivate vim
.Pp
To reactivate a port previously deactivated (in image mode):
.Pp
.Dl "port activate vim
.Pp
A port can be installed if another version/variant is installed but deactivated. To reactivate one of the installed version of a port previously deactivated (in image mode):
.Pp
.Dl "port activate vim 6.2.532_0+aqua
.Pp
To build and "install" vim into an intermediate destination root (or "destroot")
.Pp
.Dl "port destroot vim"
.Pp
This can be useful during development of a new port, for testing, or for
creating an "installation" of a port which can be subsequently packaged
or copied elsewhere without having to modify the host system.
.Pp
Using
.Nm
to list all available ports:
.Pp
.Dl "port search .+ 
.Pp
or: 
.Pp
.Dl "port list
.Pp
To look for a specific port, supply a search string:
.Pp
.Dl "port search vim
.Pp
To list the files (table of contents) installed by a given port (in this case apr):
.Pp
.Dl "port contents apr"
.Pp
To list a port's dependencies:
.Pp
.Dl "port deps exim"
.Pp
To list installed ports:
.Pp
.Dl "port installed"
.Pp
To list a port's variants:
.Pp
.Dl "port variants php"
.Pp
To view all of a port's metadata:
.Pp
.Dl "port info vim"
.Pp
The following demonstrates invoking
.Nm
with the "extract" target on portdir "textproc/figlet" and extract.suffix set to ".tgz":
.Pp
.Dl "port extract -d textproc/figlet extract.suffix=.tgz"
.Pp
To package a port as an OS X package, use the "pkg" target:
.Pp
.Dl "port pkg gimp"
.Pp
or use
.Nm
with the 'dmg' target to create an internet-enabled disk image containing an OS X package:
.Pp
.Dl "port dmg gimp"
.Pp
To build an RPM from a port, use the "rpmpackage" target instead:
.Pp
.Dl "port rpmpackage gimp"
.Pp
