For moving to the specified directory in the FreeBSD ports tree. I had been doing the following: whereis doom Which would return the path, but then I'd have to copy and paste the path to cd to the location. This command eliminates the copy, paste, cd, part of building from ports when I don't know the full path. Take note, the command is enclosed within backticks, not apostrophes or single quotes. Show Sample Output
0`whereis -sq portname`
