.SH "NAME"
port-archive \- Create an archive of a port\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fBport\fR [\fB\-vdqysbckpotf\fR] [\fB\-D\fR \fIportdir\fR] \fBarchive\fR

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBport archive\fR will create the port image (also called archive) for a port but will not actually install the port\(cqs files\&. In a nutshell, \fBport archive\fR is like \fBinstall\fR, but without the implicit \fBactivate\fR at the end\&. See \fBport-install\fR(1) and \fBport-activate\fR(1) and the \fBPORT IMAGES\fR section for details\&. The created port image can be located using \fBport-location\fR(1),
.sp
You can choose multiple variants, by specifying +name, which indicates the variant is desired, or \-name, indicating the contrary\&.
.sp
Global variants will be applied as specified in \fBvariants.conf\fR(5)\&.
.SH "PORT IMAGES"
.sp
MacPorts has the ability to install multiple versions or different variant selections of the same port\&. The files will be stored in an intermediate location as \fIarchives\fR, which allows to switch between the versions\&. Only one version can be active at a time\&. On activation, files will be copied to their intended place in \fIprefix\fR\&.
.sp
More information on this topic can be found in the \m[blue]\fBThe MacPorts Guide\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&.
.sp
To check the current status of a specific port, use \fB\fBport-installed\fR(1)\fR\&.
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
.sp
Please see the section \fBGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR in the \fBport\fR(1) man page for a description of global port options\&.
