searching ports

Something I always forget how to do is to search the ports collection for a particular port. For instance, I couldn't remember which directory my ftp server port (in this case bftpd - see link at bottom) was in. A very simple command would have told me:




$ cd /usr/ ports

$ make search name=bftpd


This searches the port collection for any ports that contain the search string. Simple!
