prt-cache(8)

NAME

prt-cache - call prt-get using a cache file as a data source

SYNOPSIS
prt-cache command [options] <arguments>

DESCRIPTION
prt-cache is a synonym for prt-get --cache. It's perfectly the same as calling prt-get --cache, just shorter. See man prt-get(8) for details on how to use prt-get

Even though there are almost restrictions on using prt-cache over prt-get, it's mostly recommended for the following commands: search, dsearch, list, info, depends, quickdep, diff, quickdiff and info. It won't work for the dup command.

Using prt-cache isinst is not recommended (really not!)

Note that if the cache is not up to date (and there's a newer port in the ports tree), prt-cache install and prt-cache update will use the version from the ports tree anyway, so there's no real risk.

If you're using prt-cache, make sure to regenerate the cache by calling prt-get cache each time you make changes to the ports tree!

To create a cache, just invoke prt-get cache. Make sure you have the right permissions to do this
