-When upgrading the OS or Xcode, this receipt can be lost even though the command line tools remain installed.
+When the command line tools package is installed, a receipt is generated that can be accessed with `pkgutil`.
+When upgrading macOS or Xcode, this receipt can be lost even though the command line tools remain installed.
 Without this receipt, MacPorts cannot determine which version of the command line tools package is installed, and worse, Software Update will never update the CLTs.
+
+To verify whether you have a CLT receipt, run this command:
+
+{{{
+pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Base --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLILeo 2>/dev/null | sed -n 's/^version: //p'
+}}}
+
+If it prints a version number, that's the version of the CLT that are installed, according to the receipt. If it doesn't print anything, you don't have a receipt and should reinstall the CLT as follows.
