NAME
       pkg-get - a package management tool for CRUX Linux

SYNOPSIS
       pkg-get command <arguments> [options]

DESCRIPTION
       pkg-get  is a simple package management tool for CRUX Linux.
       It tries to replicate some of the most useful features of the
       port  management  tool prt-get(8) to be used with binary packages.
       pkg-get requires a remote or local package repository that can be
       generated by repository  maintainers with the pkg-repgen(8) script.

COMMANDS
       install <package1> [<package2>..<packageN>]

       printf <format string1> [--filter=<filter>]
              Description  blatantly  stolen  from  prt-get(8).  Print
              formatted port list. Format string can contain variables,
              which are replaced like this:

              •  %n -> name
              •  %p -> path
              •  %v -> version
              •  %r -> release
              •  %d -> description
              •  %e -> dependencies
              •  %u -> url
              •  %R -> Readme ("yes"/"no")
              •  %E -> pre-install script ("yes"/"no")
              •  %O -> post-install script ("yes"/"no")
              •  %M -> "Nobody". for compatibility with prt-get
              •  %P -> "None". for compatibility with prt-get
              •  %l -> is locked ("yes"/"no")
              •  %i  -> "no" if not installed, "yes" if it's installed
                        and up to date and "diff" if it's installed and 
                        a new version is in the repository.

       Use "\n" and "\t" to format your output (no additional format
       codes supported). The optional format string2 can contain
       the same variables as format string1 and is used to sort
       the output.  You can specify a wildcard filter to filter by
       package name.

              Lock a package (ignore updates).

       sync   Syncronize local packages with the ones from the remote
              repository.  If the repository is local, this command does
              nothing.

OPTIONS
       -r <root>
              Use <root> directory for operations involving the package
              database (install, depinst, update, isinst, current,
              listinst, diff, quick‐ diff,  sysup).  This option does
              not affect the directories from which pkg-get loads the
              metadata or tarballs; those settings are still governed
              by the entries in the configuration file.

       -do    Download only. Applicable to: sysup, install, depinst,
              update.

       -f     Force installing / upgrading. This is passed to pkgadd(8).

       -im    Ignore md5sum mismatches.

       --aargs="arguments"
              Pass the specified arguments to pkgadd(8).

       --config=/path/to/file
              Use the specified configuration file.

       --pre-install
              Execute pre-install script if available.

              Execute post-install script if available.

       --install-scripts
              Execute pre-install and post-install scripts if available.

       are explained in the file itself.
