DESCRIPTION

      lvu is part of the lunar source-based package management suite. It is a gen-
      eral purpose command-line tool for displaying package logs, version informa-
      tion,  checking  for  installed  packages, checksums, message digests, main-
      tainer  information,  package  URL  information,  displaying  new  packages,
      untracked  files,  sections, searching for files that are installed, finding
      when modules were created and packages in the  software  catalogue.  It  can
      even  take  and  retrieve snapshots of currently installed packages for easy
      duplication.

OPTIONS

      alien - find and display all files which are not  currently  tracked  by  the lunar package management system

      leafs - displays installed modules that have no explicit dependencies on them

      orphans - displays installed modules that are missing required dependencies

      pam - display modules installed that are pam aware

      cd <module> -  changes current directory to the given module and execs a new shell

      what <module> - view the long package description

      where <module> - display the section a module belongs to

      website <module> - display the URL for the specified module

      sources <module> - list all source files contained in a module

      urls <module> - list all URLs for a module

      maintainer <module> - display  the  email  address  of the person currently responsible for maintaining a specified module

      version <module> - display version of module in moonbase

      compile <module> - show the compiler output generated when the module was built

      compiler <module> - display the version of compiler used for creating the  ELF  files  in modules

      links <module> - display  the  modules  that  this  module's ELF binary files actually links to

      install <module> - used to determine what files were installed by a module and where those files are located

      conflicts - display modules with conflicting files

      held - display held modules

      exiled - display exiled modules

      expired - display a list of modules which will be updated by a `lunar renew`

      sum <module> - print CRC checksums for modules(s). If no module is given it defaults to all.

      md5sum <module> - print module MD5 message digests  (fingerprints).  If  no  module  is given it default to all

      export - take a snapshot of all modules and configuration currently installed

      import snapshot - restore  the  snapshot  from  a  previous lvu export command (see the export option)

      moonbase - prints the entire moonbase

      html - prints the entire moonbase in a nice html format

      updatelog -  view summary log of previous lunar update

      activity - view the main lunar activity log

      search "phrase" - Searches modules long descriptions for phrase

      service port|acronym - displays modules that provide the given service port|acronym

      newer date - print packages that are newer than a specified date. the date must be
             specified in the 'yyyymmdd' format, where y=year, m=month, and d=day

      older date - print packages that are older than a specified date. the date must be
             specified in the 'yyyymmdd' format, where y=year, m=month, and d=day

      from <path/><file> - find out what module has <path>/file installed

      installed <module> view all installed packages  and  corresponding  version  numbers  or
             check  to  see whether a particular package is installed and if it is
             installed display its version number

      section <module> - view a list of all sections in the software catalogue  or  display  a list of packages from a specific section

      size <module> - display  the  size of a given module or all your installed modules in KB

      voyeur <module> - start looking at what lin is compiling at the moment and outputs  it. A module can be optionally specified.

      depends <module> - displays  the  modules  that explicitly or recursively depend on this module.

      tree <module> - displays a tree of the module's dependencies.

      stree <module> -  displays a shorter form of the tree of the module's dependencies.

      eert <module> - displays a tree of the module's reverse dependencies.

      new <module> - Attempt to create a module DETAILS file  from  scratch  using  cut-n-paste data from the user. Very dirty method to get a module started by just having 4 pieces of information handy: download url, descriptions and name

      edit <module> - Copy  an  existing module to zlocal so it can be edited. Turn on ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES to make sure your edited module gets  used  instead  of the default module.

      unedit <module> -  Discards your 'edit'ed zlocal module. Works the same as removing it.

      submit <module> - Submit  a  module  to  the  lunar  module submission list/mail alias. Please only submit tested changes.

      $MODULE_SCRIPT <module> - replace $MODULE_SCRIPT with any of the following DETAILS |  CONFIGURE |  CONFLICTS  |  PRE_BUILD  |  BUILD  |  POST_BUILD  | POST_INSTALL | POST_REMOVE to show module scripts for the module
