I'm looking for a snippet of .sh type shell code that searches the

Just a pointer to a script in the ports system that has this would be
helpful
Do you mean that, given port A, you want to find all ports that need
port A in order to be fetched, extracted, patched, built or installed?
Or do you want to find all ports that are needed to fetch, extract,
patch, build or install port A? If the former, you could look at the
parts of ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that are used by running `make -C
$PORTSDIR search bdeps=<insert PKGNAME of port A here>
display=name,path`, and `make -C $PORTSDIR search rdeps=<insert
PKGNAME of port A here> display=name,path`. If the latter, look at
the parts of ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that are used by running `make -C
<insert PKGORIGIN of port A here> pretty-print-run-depends
pretty-print-build-depends`. Also, parts of the ports-mgmt/portmaster
script used with --index-only may have similar functionality.
And do you mean to only use the INDEX? Or are you able to use parts
of the port tree? Or the pkg_info utility?
I just found /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/postsearch which uses the
/usr/ports/INDEX-8 file as its source to search. This is a perl script
but can be used from within in .sh script.
Been playing with it and see a big inconsistence in how ports list
build-deps and run-deps. Some ports list no build-deps just run-deps and
vise-versa and some have same listed list in both.
Thinking I will have to take both the build and run deps lists and sort
them together and drop dups to create a good list of dependents to allow
for the lax enforcement of standards in the Makefile about how to list
the ports dependents.
