From /usr/ports/:
Code:
# make search name=<name>
If you don't know the port name, try a keyword search:
Code:
# make search key=<keyword>
for information about an installed port, use
Code:
# pkg_info -x <name>

quicksearch is nicer to use than search.

Right, it gives nicer output. But it does not give all the information, that sniper007 is looking for.

provide port info. Waiting to set it/them up til
I see somewhere one-page pg8 setup somewhere,
too many newbie concerns (mutliple pg8 /ports/
to configure the DB for)
