PORTDEPENDS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PORTDEPENDS(1)NAMEportdepends-- list the dependency tree for a port
SYNOPSISportdepends [-h] [-s style] [-c dir] [-C file] [-o file] dir...
DESCRIPTIONportdepends displays the dependency tree for each port origin listed on
the command line. Dependency relationships are read from the portindex
cache file. By default dependencies are displayed textually, in a
recursive fashion without flattening any of the lists as is done in
generating an INDEX file: this leads to a great deal of repetition and
much longer output than might be expected for some ports. To suppress
the repetition of dependency subtrees, use the --style=short or -s s
command line option. This visits each node in the dependency tree at
most once. For graphical output use the --style=graph or -s g option.
This generates canonical GraphViz format, which can be read into dot to
render the graph as an image.
Output is tagged with a label showing which of the six possible
dependency types exist between each port and its immediate superior.
In addition edges in the graphical output are colour coded:
E EXTRACT_DEPENDS (yellow)
P PATCH_DEPENDS (Cyan)
F FETCH_DEPENDS (Magenta)
B BUILD_DEPENDS (Red)
R RUN_DEPENDS (Green)
L LIB_DEPENDS (Blue)
For example: GraphViz format output can be rendered as a PNG image like
this:
"portdepends -s g ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex | dot -Tpng -o
FP.png"
Dependency levels in textual output are indicated by indenting the
dependent port name inseting a string "- " for each level.
Configuration Files
portdepends shares configuration files with portindex, cache-init,
cache-update and find-updated. Any configuration settings are taken
from the following locations, where the later items on this list
override the earlier:
· Built-in settings from the FreeBSD::Portindex::Config perl
module.
· The system wide configuration file /usr/local/etc/portindex.cfg
· The per-user configuration file ${HOME}/.portindexrc (ignored
if the program is being run by the superuser)
· The local configuration file, found in the current working
directory of the portdepends process ./.portindexrc (ignored if
the program is being run by the superuser)
· The program command line.
All of the configuration files are optional. A summary of the
resultant configuration options including the effect of any command
line settings is printed as part of the help text when portindex is
invoked with the "-h" option.
OPTIONS-h
--help Print a brief usage message and a summary of the configuration
settings after command line processing and then exit.
-s { short | s | graph | g | default }
--style { short | ... }
Choose the output style.
short or s
Visit each dependency node only once. Avoids
repetetive printing of various dependency sub-trees,
and can reduce the amount of output a great deal for
complicated dependency trees.
graph or g
Generate canonical GraphViz format suitable for
rendering into an image by dot
default or any other text
Print out the full dependency tree, recursing into each
sub-branch as many times as there are dependency links
to that branch. This is the default.
-c dir
--cache-dir=dir
The location of the portindex data cache, by default
/var/db/portindex.
-C file
--cache-file=file
Berkeley DB Btree file containing the cached and post-processed
values of a number of "make" variables for all of the ports in
the tree. This file name will be relative to the cache
directory (-c option above) unless an absolute path is given.
Defaults to portindex-cache.db.
-o file
--output=file
Filename to write the generated dependency information to.
Setting this to - means output to STDOUT, which is the default.
FILES
/usr/ports The default ports directory.
/var/db/portindex
The location of the data cache.
portindex-cache.db
Btree file containing cached "make describe" output.
__db.001, __db.002, __db.003
Files used as part of the internal workings of
BerkeleyDB, for memory pool management and DB locking.
Will be recreated automatically if deleted.
portindex-timestamp
This file contains the last time and date that the
cache was updated or modified.
/usr/local/etc/portindex.cfg
System-wide configuration file.
${HOME}/.portindexrc
Per-user configuration file
./.portindexrc Local configuration file
