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 software 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 or displays installed $MODULEs that are missing required dependencies</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>
version $MODULE</dt>
display version of $MODULE in moonbase</dd>
compile $MODULE</dt>
show the compiler output generated when the $MODULE was built</dd>
compiler $MODULE</dt>

display held $MODULEs</dd>
exiled</dt>
display exiled $MODULEs</dd>
expired</dt>
display a list of $MODULEs which will be updated by a `lunar 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>
take a snapshot of all $MODULEs currently installed</dd>
import snapshot</dt>
restore the snapshot from a previous lvu export command (see the export option)</dd>
moonbase</dt>
prints the entire moonbase</dd>
html</dt>
prints the entire moonbase in a nice html format</dd>
updatelog</dt>
view summary log of previous lunar update</dd>
activity</dt>
view the main lunar activity log</dd>
search "phrase"</dt>
Searches $MODULEs long descriptions for phrase</dd>
service port|acronym</dt>
displays $MODULEs that provide the given service port|acronym</dd>

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</dd>
older date</dt>
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</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</dd>
voyeur $MODULE</dt>
start looking at what lin is compiling at the moment and outputs it. A $MODULE can be optionally specified.</dd>
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 it.</dd>
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 | CONFIGURE | CONFLICTS | PRE_BUILD | BUILD | POST_BUILD | POST_INSTALL | POST_REMOVE to show $MODULE scripts for the $MODULE</dd>
