=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.
