+pkg-orphan is a console utility for managing orphan, i.e. unreferenced FreeBSD
+packages. It finds all or selected orphans and lets the user choose which ones
+to remove and which ones to keep. It maintains a keep-list file, so previously
+kept packages will be skipped automatically. In batch mode, all packages, not
+present in the keep-list are either deleted or kept in the list.
+
+Since orphan packages are usually much fewer than non-orphan ones, it can be
+useful for quickly finding and deleting unused packages, even on a system with
+hundreds of them installed.
+
+Features:
+ - interactive and batch modes
+ - maintains a kept package list, to avoid asking for the same package again
+ - can delete packages recursively, but without deleting shared dependencies or
+   previously kept packages
+ - the keep-list file does not contain package versions, so upgrades generally
+   don't require editing of the file
