.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBport outdated\fR lists all ports that have newer versions available\&. For each port, it prints the name and both the old and the new version\&. \fBport outdated\fR will give you the reason why MacPorts considers a port to be outdated\&. This could be

.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

.el \{\

due to an OS upgrade\&. MacPorts will consider ports built on a previous version of macOS outdated\&.
.RE
.sp
The ports listed in \fBport outdated\fR are the ports that will be upgraded when you run
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$> sudo port upgrade outdated
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
i\&.e\&. those the \fIoutdated\fR pseudo\-port selector expands to, with one exception: If you have the newest version of a port installed, but deactivated in favor of an older version, \fBport outdated\fR will list it as outdated, but \fBsudo port upgrade outdated\fR will not upgrade it\&. This can be used to intentionally stay at an older version of a port, e\&.g\&. if the newer version does not work as expected\&. Note that MacPorts will still install newer versions of such ports if they are dependencies of other ports to be installed or upgraded\&.
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"

Please see the section \fBGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR in the \fBport\fR(1) man page for a description of global port options\&.

Do not list the header line or the message that no ports are outdated\&.
