+DEPENDENCY RELATIONS
+--------------------
+
+Do not confuse 'dependents' and 'dependencies' (or, shortened, 'deps').
+Refer to the following example to understand the difference:
+
+----
+portA --> portB
+----
+
+*portA* depends on *portB*, i.e., *portA* needs *portB* to run. Because of
+that, *portB* is a 'dependency' (or 'dep') of *portA*. After installing
+*portA*, *portB* has been automatically installed. At this point, *portA* has
+become a 'dependent' of *portB*. You can only uninstall *portB* once all of its
+dependents (i.e., including *portA*) have been uninstalled.

+NAME
+----
+port-dependents - List ports that depend on a given (installed) port
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[cmdsynopsis]
+*port* [*-D* 'portdir'] *dependents*
+ [['portname' | 'pseudo-portname' | 'port-expressions' | 'port-url']]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*port dependents* reports which ports depend upon a given (installed) port, if
+any. Note that *dependents* does not work for ports that are not installed on
+your system. It uses the database of installed ports that MacPorts keeps
+internally, which records the dependency relations at installation time. *port
+dependents* prints this information.
+
+For this reason, *port dependents* does not work for ports that are not
+installed on your system. If you want to find out which ports depend on a port
+you haven't installed, you can use the *depends:* pseudo-portname selector:
+
+----
+port echo depends:<portname>
+----
+
+This command will, however, not cover dependencies that are only present in
+non-default variants. For more information about pseudo-portname selectors, see
+man:port[1].
+
+The dependency relations printed by *port dependents* are the same that are used
+to determine if a port can be safely uninstalled. Ports that still have
+dependents installed cannot be uninstalled without either the
+*--follow-dependents* or the *-f* flag. See man:port-uninstall[1] for more
+details.
