=head1 NAME B - Official Sabayon Linux Package Manager Client =head1 SYNOPSIS B [action] [basic_options] [options] [atom | package_file | @set] ... B [action] [basic_options] [options] ... B --info B --help B --version =head1 DESCRIPTION B is the definitive (rofl)... scratch it. B is the official command-line interface to the Entropy framework. Primarily used to ease packages management on Gentoo-based, Entropy-enabled distributions. With B you can easily install and remove any application inside available and enabled repositories: it's a binary package manager which brings the best from apt, yum and rpm, keeping 100% backward Portage (see 'man emerge') compatibility. Being Entropy a framework means that it's not just ended here. For example, through B you can build your own software repository (called Community Repository), do searches, keep your system secure, download packages' source code, sanity check your system, see and be part of the User Generated Content produced by other users. =head1 BASIC_OPTIONS work in progress =head1 OPTIONS work in progress =head1 ENVIRONMENT B=1: if set, all the Entropy framework will never use its internal on-disk cache. B=N: if set to 1, 2 or 3 and used with 'B update', Entropy repository synchronized will be force to use the provided EAPI to update repositories. B=license_id1:license_id2:...: this is a way to avoid equo asking to accept specific licenses. B=1: disable entropy coloured output. =head1 BUGS Please report bugs to http://bugs.sabayonlinux.org. B has a nice bug-reporting feature: whenever a valid exception occurs, it asks the user to automatically submit the issue. B: to do efficient bug squashing, some hardware specs are going to be collected, ask wrote before submitting any data. No personal data is going to be uploaded and your report will be kept private. =head1 EXAMPLES work in progress =head1 EXIT STATUS B returns a zero exit status if the called command succeeded. Non zero is returned in case of failure. =head1 AUTHOR Fabio Erculiani =head1 SEE ALSO reagent(1), activator(1)
