A more typical search is: cd /usr/ports make search key=mkiso This may or may not yield anything useful. I tend to use the Jeffrey Friedl search tool, which is a much faster implementation of the find . -type f -name pkg-descr | xargs grep -i method. Many people will recognize his name. He literally wrote the book on regular expressions. This tool is probably the one I use more than any other when looking for something. Second thing I use when I know all or part of the file name is locate(1). I found it some 5 or 6 years ago - Jeffrey wrote it in 1994, and I have (fortunately) been able to hang on to it ever since. The license is open: ## Jeffrey Friedl (jfriedl@yahoo.com), Dec 1994. ## Copyright 19.... ah hell, just take it. Good man, that Jeffrey. I haven't been able to find any definitive update, but it hasn't required any more modification than the perl path over the years.
