DESCRIPTION

      lvu is part of the lunar source-based package management suite. It is a gen-
      eral purpose command-line tool for displaying package logs, version informa-
      tion,  checking  for  installed  packages, checksums, message digests, main-
      tainer  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
             find and display all files which are not  currently  tracked  by  the
             lunar package management system

             links to
      install <module>

             KB
      voyeur <module>
             start looking at what lin is compiling at the moment and outputs  it.
             A module can be optionally specified.

             module.
      tree <module>
             displays a tree of the module's dependencies.
      stree <module>
             displays a shorter form of the tree of the module's dependencies.
      eert <module>
             displays a tree of the module's reverse dependencies.
      new <module>
             Attempt to create a module DETAILS file  from  scratch  using  cut-n-
             paste  data  from the user. Very dirty method to get a module started
             by just having 4 pieces of information handy: download url,  descrip-
             tions and name
      edit <module>
             Copy  an  existing module to zlocal so it can be edited. Turn on ZLO-
             CAL_OVERRIDES to make sure your edited module gets  used  instead  of
             the default module.
      unedit <module>
             Discards your 'edit'ed zlocal module. Works the same as removing it.
      submit <module>
             Submit  a  module  to  the  lunar  module submission list/mail alias.
             Please only submit tested changes.
      $MODULE_SCRIPT <module>
             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
