+fports
+======
+
+.. program:: fports
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+**fports -h**
+
+**fports -V**
+
+**fports subcommand**
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Report and check the version status of installed packages and compare
+them to version in remote repositories and the local ports index.
+
+By default (without any option) the status of every package is
+printed with respect to repositories that have the package and have
+differing versions. This includes the ports INDEX.
+
+:command:`fpkg` provides some subcommands.
+
+This tools is the successor of :manpage:`check-ports(8)`.
+
+
+Subcommands
+-----------
+
+These global options are implemented:
+
+.. option:: -h
+
+   Print a short usage message to stdout and exit.
+
+.. option:: -V
+
+   Print the program name and version number to stdout and exit.
+
+
+**fports deptree** `package`...
+
+  Print a dependency tree for every given `package`. A package tree is
+  a hierarchical list of packages that `packages` depends on.
+
+  .. program:: fports deptree
+
+  .. option:: -l <maxlevel>
+
+     Limit the output to sub-levels up to `maxlevel`. To print only
+     direct dependencies use a `maxlevel` of `1`.
+     Default is 0 (i.e. no limit).
+
+  .. option:: -r
+
+     Use reversed dependencies and print the package tree for all packages
+     that depend on a given `package`.
+
+
+Environment
+-----------
+
+.. envvar:: INDEXDIR
+
+   If set, the directory to search for `INDEXFILE`. If unset,
+   :envvar:`PORTSDIR` will be used instead.
+
+.. envvar:: INDEXFILE
+
+   The filename of the ports index, search for in :envvar:`INDEXDIR` or
+   :envvar:`PORTSDIR`.
+   Default: `INDEX-<N>` where `N` is the OS major version number.
+
+.. envvar:: PORTSDIR
+
+   Specifies the location to the Ports directory.
+   Default: :file:`/usr/ports`.
