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</dt>
find and display all files which are not currently tracked by the lunar package management system</dd>
leafs</dt>
displays installed modules that have no explicit dependencies on
them orphans
displays installed modules that are missing required dependen-
cies</dd>
pam</dt>
display modules installed that are pam aware</dd>
cd module</dt>
changes current directory to the given module and execs a new
shell</dd>
what module</dt>
view the long package description</dd>
where module</dt>
display the section a module belongs to</dd>
website module</dt>
display the URL for the specified module</dd>
sources module</dt>
list all source files contained in a module</dd>
urls module</dt>
list all URLs for a module</dd>
maintainer module</dt>
display the email address of the person currently responsible
for maintaining a specified module</dd>

renew`</dd>
sum $MODULE</dt>
print CRC checksums for modules(s). If no module is given it
defaults to all.</dd>
md5sum $MODULE</dt>
print module MD5 message digests (fingerprints). If no module is
given it default to all</dd>
export</dt>

m=month, and d=day</dd>
from <path/>file</dt>
find out what module has $PATH/file installed</dd>
installed $MODULE</dt>
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</dd>
section $MODULE</dt>
view a list of all sections in the software catalogue or display
a list of packages from a specific section</dd>
size $MODULE</dt>
display the size of a given module or all your installed modules
in KB

start looking at what lin is compiling at the moment and outputs
it. A module can be optionally specified.
depends $MODULE</dt>
displays the modules that explicitly or recursively depend on
this module.</dd>
tree $MODULE</dt>
displays a tree of the module's dependencies.</dd>
eert $MODULE</dt>
displays a tree of the module's reverse dependencies.</dd>
edit $MODULE</dt>
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.</dd>
unedit $MODULE</dt>
Discards your 'edit'ed zlocal module. Works the same as removing</dd>
it.
submit $MODULE</dt>
Submit a module to the lunar module submission list/mail alias.
Please only submit tested changes.</dd>
$MODULE_SCRIPT $MODULE</dt>
replace $MODULE_SCRIPT with any of the following DETAILS | CON-
