  Is there a cli tool to browse that, or do you have to go to the web?
  • jlgaddis 10y ago
    If you have the ports tree [0] installed, you can browse through /usr/ports. There's a subdirectory in there for each port, named "category/port". You can search the ports tree using (replace foo with your search term): $ make -C /usr/ports search key=foo You can install the ports tree by running: # portsnap fetch extract [0]: http://www.freshports.org http://www.freshports.org

      Thanks. I'm a deb/ubu bloke, but always curious as to the details of other package management systems.
    • bojo 10y ago
      An alternative with less typing: $ whereis foo This will return the path to the relevant port if it exists.

    In addition to searching through ports, pkg-ng has a really nice search command. pkg search $string will search through the pkg database for matching strings.

      Yes, "pkg search <pkg name>" generates list of available matching packages. "pkg search -f <pkg name>" will give salient pkg info in a multi-line format. Use "pkg help search" to pull up the man page for "pkg search" with all the gory option details. "pkg help" shows a list of available pkg commands. "pkg" has become a very useful, reliable tool.

      You can also display a list of all packages in the repository with pkg search -g '*' | less Better pipe it to less because there are over 25000 packages.
