port: Search for a package.
$ port search ${search_term}
try on your machine

The "port search" command is likely a command used in a macOS or Linux system that searches for specific packages or software available in the package manager's repository.

The "${search_term}" is a placeholder for the actual term or keyword you want to search for. For example, if you want to find packages related to a specific programming language, you would substitute "${search_term}" with the name of the language.

Overall, when you run the "port search ${search_term}" command, the system will search for matching packages in its repository and display the relevant results.
