SYMPORTS(1)            DragonFly General Commands Manual           SYMPORTS(1)


NAME

     symports - generates symlinks for virtual ports


SYNOPSIS

     symports [-dnv] [-i indexFile] [-p Portsdir] [-w WhereT]


DESCRIPTION

     symports reads through your ports tree and generates a tree using
     symlinks for all categories - not just the "real" ones.


OPTIONS

     -p directory
           The location of the ports directory you want to work with.

     -i INDEX file location
           Uses the index file instead of each port's Makefile

     -w Archive directory
           Where the symlinks should be generated.  Defaults to current
           working directory.

     -n    Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not
           actually execute them.

     -v    Be verbose.

     -?    Displays help.

     -d    Displays debugging info.


NOTES

     symports has been tested on a system with incomplete ports, but has not
     been tested under all known conditions.


BUGS

     Please send any bug reports to eadler@FreeBSD.org
