-.Op Ar action
-.Op Ar actionflags
-.Op Oo Ar portname | pseudo-portname | port-url Oc
-.Op Oo Ar @version Oc Oo +/-variant ... Oc ... Oo option=value ... Oc
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is designed to operate on individual or multiple Mac
-.Ar ports ,
-optionally within a single call, based on the requested
-.Ar action .
-If no
-.Ar portdir
-or
-.Ar portname
-is specified, the current working directory is assumed; if no
-.Ar action
-is specified the port command enters interactive mode, in which commands are read via stdin. Batch commands may be
-passed via a
-.Ar cmdfile .
-Port
-.Ar options
-are passed as key=value pairs and take precedence over individual
-.Ar portname
-options as specified in its Portfile and system-wide settings.
-.Pp
-Port
-.Ar variants
-can specified as
-.Ar +name ,
-which indicates the variant is desired, or
-.Ar -name ,
-indicating the contrary. In case of ambiguities, a port can be fully specified with the
-.Ar @version_revision+variants
-format.
-.Pp
-Installed ports can be activated or deactivated without being uninstalled. A port can be installed if all other
-version/variant(s) combinations installed at any given moment are deactivated.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-command knows various
-.Ar pseudo-portnames
-that will expand to the specified set of ports from the available ports tree(s). These may be used in place of a
-.Ar portname .
-Common options are:
-.Pp
-.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
-.It
-.Ar all :
-all the ports in each ports tree listed in
-.Ar sources.conf
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar current :
-the port in the current working directory.
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar active :
-set of installed and active ports.
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar inactive :
-set of installed but inactive ports.
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar installed :
-set of all installed ports.
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar uninstalled :
-ports in the ports tree(s) that aren't installed.
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar outdated :
-installed ports that are out of date with respect to their current version/revision in the ports tree(s)
-.Pp
-.It
-.Ar obsolete :
-set of ports that are installed but no longer exist in any port tree
-.Pp
-.El
-Other options, also known as
-.Ar pseudo-portname selectors ,
-matching the most common keys used in a
-.Ar Portfile
-are also accepted, in both singular and plural form where applicable. These are:
-.Pp
-.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
-.It
-.Ar name
-.It
-.Ar version
-.It
-.Ar revision
-.It
-.Ar epoch

-.Pp
-Search strings that will expand to a set of matching ports can be constructed based on the
-.Ar \(rqpseudo-portname selector\(lq:regex
-combination used.
-.Ar portnames
-containing valid UNIX glob patterns will also expand to the set of matching ports. Any
-.Ar action
-passed to
-.Nm
-will be invoked on each of them. For example:
-.Pp
-.Dl port list variant:no_ssl
-.Dl port uninstall name:sql
-.\" COMMENT: glob pattern expansion in portnames:
-.\" write an example here that illustrats better glob pattern expansion in portnames, but that does not employ
-.\" logical operators (and, or, not, !) because I still haven't gotten to them yet.
-.Dl port echo apache*
-.Pp
-Logical operators "and", "or", "not", "!", "(" and ")" may be used to combine individual
-.Ar portnames ,
-port glob patterns and/or
-.Ar pseudo-portnames
-to construct complex port expressions that expand to the set of matching ports. For example:
-.Pp
-.Dl port upgrade installed and "apache*"
-.Dl port echo maintainer:jberry and uninstalled and \e(\ category:java and not commons*\ \e)
-.\" COMMENT: more complex exmaples here would be useful.
-.\" PENDING: port-url explanation. Proposed text:

-.\"A
