FreeBSD; Finding port information and location.
Finding port information and location.
Source: http://www.freebsd. … ng-applications.html.
If you know the exact name of the port, but just need to find out which category it is in, you can use the whereis command. Simply type whereis file, where file is the program you want to install. If it is found on your system, you will be told where it is, as follows:
# whereis audacity audacity: /usr/ports/audio/audacity
Yet another way to find a particular port is by using the Ports Collection’s built-in search mechanism. To use the search feature, you will need to be in the /usr/ports directory. Once in that directory, run make search name=program-name where program-name is the name of the program you want to find. For example, if you were looking for audacity:
# cd /usr/ports # make search name=audacity Port: audacity-devel-1.3.7_1 Path: /usr/ports/audio/audacity-devel Info: Audacity is a GUI editor for digital audio waveforms
