- <para>A <filename>Portfile</filename> is a TCL script that often contains
- only simple keyword/value combinations defined in MacPorts base, though it
- may also contain arbitrary TCL code. Every MacPorts port has a
- corresponding <filename>Portfile</filename>, but Portfiles do not
- completely define a port's installation behavior since the MacPorts base
- has default port installation characteristics coded within it that are
- applied to all ports. Therefore Portfiles need only specify required
- options and, when required, non-default characteristics for a port.</para>
