I believe I already responded to you with some examples of ports
that do what you want to do, namely portlint and mergemaster. Did you look
at those ports? Did you read the handbook sections on how to make a port?
If so, what specific questions do you have about the process? What about
it is not clear to you? We can't help you if you don't give us more
information.
If you haven't already read the documentation and looked at those
two ports, do that first, and try to understand what those ports are
doing. It really isn't that complicated, and a working example is the best
teacher in my experience.
