DESCRIPTION
      lvu is part of the lunar source-based package management suite. It is a
      general purpose command-line tool for displaying package logs,  version
      information,   checking  for  installed  packages,  checksums,  message
      digests, maintainer 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  soft-
      ware  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

             displays installed modules that have no explicit dependencies on
             them orphans
             displays installed modules that are missing  required  dependen-
             cies
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

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

             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

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

             it.
submit <module>
