PORTCONFIG(1)          DragonFly General Commands Manual         PORTCONFIG(1)

NAME
     portconfig - run make(1) targets on ports(7) that need updating

SYNOPSIS
     portconfig [-vafrRh] [-tN] [ports]

DESCRIPTION
     The portconfig script was written to issue make targets to a number of
     ports instead of going into every ports folder and running the command by
     hand. The make target issued is determined from the scriptname minus the
     'port' prefix. Different targets can be realized by creating links.

     The following aliases are available:

     portconfig portbuild portclean portfetch portpackage portconfig-recursive
             portfetch-recursive

OPTIONS
     The following options are available:

     -v --verbose
             Be verbose.

     -a --all
             Act on all ports that require updating. Or on all installed ports
             if -f is given.

     -f --force
             Also acts on ports that do not require updating and ports that
             are not yet installed.

     -r --recursive
             Act on depending ports as well.

     -R --upward-recursive
             Act on ports the given ports depend on as well.

     -tN --try-againN
             If the target returns an error try again for N times. N is a
             value from 0 to 9.

     -h --help
             Displays the available options.

     ports   The last parameter is a list of ports to act on, either in the
             category/port format or the package name of an installed package.

EXAMPLES
     If you want to see the config dialogues of all ports that require
     updating prior to running 'portupgrade -a' the following line will
     achieve this:

           portconfig -a

     If you want to see the config dialogues of new dependencies as well run
     the following command:

           portconfig-recursive -a

EXIT CODES
     1       An unknown parameter has been supplied.

     2       The parameter -t has been supplied without a number.

COMPATIBILITY
     The script has been tested on FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE.
