There's an example of output on a whole up-to-date port tree and index 
there:

     https://www.frbsd.org/xch/stdout.txt

     https://www.frbsd.org/xch/stderr.txt

And an example run on your own 171 ports here:

     https://www.frbsd.org/xch/chris.txt

On a not up-to-date index, you would notice lots of non existing 
port-path and description-file, which is what caught my eye in the first 
place.

That's because the portsnap method that I use to sync my port tree 
doesn't update the Index at all.

The tool design is modular, so if additional checks are useful to 
someone, they could probably be added quite easily (use the GitHub page 
for these interactions).

If it's deemed useful, I could make the port next week-end.

Best regards,
