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 sym‐
     links 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 work‐
	   ing 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
