>Description:
The man page for ports(1) doesn't actually mention portsnap(8) anywhere.  As this is now the recommended way to get ports updated, it probably should.

Patch file for the man page is attached; it adds portsnap(8) to the list of utilities mentioned at the bottom of the page in the SEE ALSO section.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 7 ports | grep portsnap
>Fix:
n/a
