portell is a Python program that will find and print detailed information on a BSD systems application name in in /usr/ports. 
All you do is supply a valid name and portell will find it (from any directory) and display its associated pkg-descr or pkg/DESCR file.
And since portell uses a database the search results happen instantaneously.

Usage
-----
The first time you run portell.py you need to create a database called /var/db/portell.db (or whatever you point the PORTELL_PATH 
environment variable to). To do this type:

    portell -u

Now you can use portell normally from now on. Say you want to know what "mpg123" is, simply type:

    portell mpg123
