+.Nm portcheck
+.Nd validate a port before submitting
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl dNP
+.Op Fl p Ar portsdir
+.Op Fl x Ar pattern
+.Pp
+.Nm
+.Fl A

+.Op Fl p Ar portsdir
+.Op Fl x Ar pattern
+.Op Ar subdir ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is used to validate the
+.Ox
+port or port hierarchy in current directory.
+It should be used before submitting ports for review to avoid making
+common mistakes.
+.Nm
+verifies that directory and file structure for a port is in place and
+that no bogus files exist.
+.Pp
+When it's done,
+.Nm
+will print detected value of port's
+.Ev PKGPATH
+to standard output, unless it fails in detection.
+In the latter case, the
+.Fl p
+option should be provided.
+All other (error) messages from
+.Nm
+end up on standard error output.
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Nm
+automatically picks up nearest parent directory named
+.Dq ports ,
+with an optional
+.Dq mystuff
+or
+.Dq openbsd-wip
+subdirectory component, as the ports root directory.
+For example: if the port being imported is located in
+.Pa /home/joe/cvs/ports/openbsd-wip/devel/p5-Foo ,
+then the root ports directory will be detected as being
+.Pa /home/joe/cvs/ports/openbsd-wip .
+To override this behaviour, see the
+.Fl p
+option.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl A
+Intended for running
+.Nm
+on the whole ports tree, i.e., the one lying in
+.Ev PORTSDIR .
+This option adds several ignore patterns (see
+.Fl x
+option description) and disables some other checks (e.g., for missing
+distinfo).
+.Ev PKGPATH
+determining and printing won't be done.
+Implicit change of working directory to the ports tree root is done
+before starting any checks.
+Also, in this mode one or more
+.Ar subdir
+arguments could be specified, to narrow the check only for given
+subdirectories of ports tree root.
+.It Fl d
+Show debugging information such as calling of check routines.
+.It Fl P
+Disable expensive checks that use
+.Dq print-plist-with-depends
+target, e.g., proper usage of
+.Xr gtk-update-icon-cache 1 ,
+.Xr update-desktop-database 1
+and
+.Xr update-mime-database 1 .
+.It Fl p Ar portsdir
+Forces the given directory to be treated as ports root directory.
+Cancels autodetection of the root ports directory made by default.
+This option is useful, e.g., when you have a temporary ports tree in
+a non-standard location.
+.It Fl N
+Intended to be used when working on new ports.
+Enables the checks like the presence of REVISION markers and non-0.0
+.Ev SHARED_LIBS .
+It also enables checks for the presence of CVS directories that could
+be left by mistake when creating a new port based on another one.
+.It Fl x
+Excludes files and subdirectories matching given shell globbing pattern
+from any checks.
+Note that matching is done against relative path, and not against
+absolute path or base name either.
+I.e., to exclude the
+.Dq x11/kde4/libs/logs
+from checks, you must pass the whole line as argument, not just
+.Dq logs .
+Multiple -x options may be specified.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To validate a new port you've just prepared, go to port's directory and
+run:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ portcheck -N
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If you were working on updating of an existing port in CVS tree:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ portcheck
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To run a global check of the whole
+.Dq devel
+category in ports tree, use the
+.Fl A
+option instead:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ portcheck -Ap /usr/ports devel
+.Ed
