NAME

portfmt —

format FreeBSD Ports Collection Makefiles

SYNOPSIS

portfmt [-D[context]] [-ditu] [-w wrapcol] [Makefile]

DESCRIPTION

portfmt is a tool for formatting FreeBSD Ports Collection Makefiles.

If the optional Makefile argument is not given, the Makefile will be read from stdin. This can be useful for editor integration where you might want to only format portions of your Makefile.

The following options are available:

-D[context]: Output a unified diff from the original to the formatted version. This can optionally be followed by the number of context lines. It defaults to 3 lines of context. For full context use 0.
-d: Dump the AST to stdout. This is only useful for debugging purposes. If this flag is specified -i is ignored.
-i: Format Makefile in-place instead of writing the result to stdout.
-t: Format and reindent target commands.
-u: Leave variables unsorted.
-U: Always sort variables.
-w wrapcol: Sets the wrapping column to wrapcol (default: 80). This is a goal not a hard value. It will be ignored for several variables like COMMENT, DISTFILES, MASTER_SITES, etc.
With a value of -1 it is ignored for all variables. Variables with wrapped tokens over multiple lines will be concatenated onto a single line.

EDITOR INTEGRATION

You can integrate Portfmt into your editor to conveniently run it only on parts of the port, e.g., to reformat USES after adding a new item to it.

Emacs

Add this to ~/.emacs.d/init.el to format the current region with C-c p:

(defun portfmt (&optional b e)
  "PORTFMT(1) on region"
  (interactive "r")
  (shell-command-on-region b e "portfmt " (current-buffer) t
                           "*portfmt errors*" t))

(with-eval-after-load 'make-mode
  (define-key makefile-bsdmake-mode-map (kbd "C-c p") 'portfmt))

Kakoune

Add this to ~/.config/kak/kakrc for filtering the current selection through portfmt with ,1:

map global user 1 '|portfmt<ret>;' \
	-docstring "portfmt on selection"

Vim

Add this to ~/.vimrc for filtering the current selection through portfmt with \1:

xnoremap <leader>1 <esc>:'<,'>!portfmt<CR>

ENVIRONMENT

The following environment variables affect the execution of portfmt:

CLICOLOR_FORCE: If defined portfmt will output text with ANSI colors even when stdout is not a tty or NO_COLOR is set.
NO_COLOR: If defined colors will be disabled.

EXIT STATUS

portfmt will exit with one of the following values:

0: Success.
1: An error occurred.
2: There were changes when compared to the original file. Only possible with -D.

EXAMPLES

In-place format /usr/ports/audio/sndio/Makefile:

portfmt -i /usr/ports/audio/sndio/Makefile
