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

Use "\\n" and "\\t" to format your output (no additional format
codes suported). 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.
.TP

.TP
.B

Unlock a package.
.TP
.B
listlocked
Display a list of locked packages.
.TP
.B
sync

If the repository is local, this \fIcommand\fP does nothing.
.TP
.B
help
Display brief help screen.
.TP
.B
version
Show \fBpkg\-get\fP version.
.SH OPTIONSB
.TP
.B
\fB\-do\fP
Download only. Applicable to: sysup, install, depinst, update.
.TP
.B
\fB\-f\fP
Force installing / upgrading. This is passed to \fBpkgadd\fP(8).
.TP
.B
\fB\-im\fP
Ignore md5sum mismatches.
.TP
.B
\fB\-\-aargs\fP="arguments"
Pass the specified arguments to \fBpkgadd\fP(8).
.TP
.B
\fB\-\-config\fP=/path/to/file
Use the specified configuration file.
.TP
.B
\fB\-r\fP <root>
Use <root> directory for operations involving the package database
(install, depinst, update, isinst, current, listinst, diff, quickdiff, sysup).
This option does not affect the directories from which \fBpkg\-get\fP loads the
metadata or tarballs; those settings are still governed by the entries in
the configuration file.
When using \fB\-r\fP <root>, the relevant pkgadd.conf is the one on the
target filesystem, not the one where \fBpkg\-get\fP is running. Any custom
directives in your pkgadd.conf should be copied to the corresponding
location under the new root, or else you should pass the \fB\-\-aargs\fP
option to tell \fBpkgadd\fP to read its configuration from a non-standard
location.
When combined with \fB\-\-pre\-install\fP or \fB\-\-post\-install\fP or
\fB\-\-install\-scripts\fP, setting a root directory other than '/' has the
side effect of copying the PKGINST shell script into the corresponding
location under the new root. This action (and the subsequent chroot command)
is the most direct way to accommodate the user's intention. Unfortunately it
clutters the mounted volume with a small fragment of shell script. If such
clutter is not desired, the option \fB\-r\fP <root> should always be paired
with the configuration setting 'runscripts no', leaving it up to the
administrator of the mounted volume to perform any pre- or post-install
tasks separately.
.TP
.B
\fB\-\-pre\-install\fP

.TP
.B
\fB\-\-post\-install\fP
