If you have any filenames in the current directory containing the string
"mysql" (probably starting with, from your examples) then those filenames
will be passed to the "port" command. *The "port" command has no control
whatsoever over this; it is basic shell behavior that cannot be overridden.*
You should get into the habit of always quoting any metacharacters you
don't want the shell to expand. These are: $ * ? [ { ' " \ and leading ~.
SIngle quotes prevent all expansion including the quoting behavior of \ ;
\ quotes any single character, except when in a single-quoted string.
