pkgsrc/mk/bulk/printindex.1
rillig 8ba3dc01c0 - Don't use the .pkglist cache anymore, as the cache is quite cheap to
regenerate. This change makes printdepends and printindex more
  independent, because before this change, printindex could use the
  cache provided by printdepends, but not the other way round.

- Fixed the section "Sanity checks, part 2" by allowing newline
  characters in the list of packages from which the index is built.
  This bug just hasn't been noticed because the list taken from the
  cache did not have newlines at all.

  The '-' character is not included in the $allowed variable because it
  is handled specially and differently by sh(1) and tr(1).

- Updated the printindex man page.

.Sh NAME
.Nm printindex
.Nd generate a PKGPATH to PKGNAME mapping database file
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Ar brokenfile Op Ar bulkfilesdir
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Generates a mapping from pkgsrc directories to the current package
version and prints it on stdout.
Each line of the output has two fields:
the package directory (in the form
.Ql category/package )
and the package version (in the form
.Ql package-1.456nb3 ) .
.Pp
If
.Ar brokenfile
is given, package-specific errors are logged to
.Ar bulkfilesdir Ns / Ns
.Va ${pkgdir} Ns / Ns
.Ar brokenfile .
Otherwise no additional logging takes place.
.Pp
The default for
.Ar bulkfilesdir
is the pkgsrc directory itself.
If
.Ar bulkfilesdir
differs from the pkgsrc directory, all directories that are needed for
the log files are created automatically.
.Sh LIMITATIONS
.Nm
must be called from a pkgsrc root directory.
.Sh EXIT STATUS
Non-zero if writing to a log file fails, zero otherwise.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width XXXXXX
.It Ev BMAKE Pq mandatory
The
.Xr make 1
program used to build packages.
.It Ev PKGLIST Pq optional
The list of packages from which to build an index.
