portmaster(8) operates very similarly to portupgrade(8). There are some
differences that can bite you, though, so read the man page first.

For updating a single port: portmaster PORTNAME (e.g. portmaster
chromium-65.0.3325.181_1)
Note that portmaster(8) treats when you type like there is an '*' at the
end, so, e.g. "portmaster virtualbox-ose" will result in both
virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-kmod being updated. Very useful for
updating multiple related ports such as "portmaster p5-" to update all p5
ports.

If you are installing, you must include both the ports
subdirectory/portdirectory. E.g. graphics/ImageMagick

Options are similar, but not identical nd there are a lot of added ones. I
find "-y --clean-dirtfiles" very handy.
