=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.
