-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B installpkg
-installs single or multiple *.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz) binary packages designed
-for use with the Slackware Linux distribution onto your system.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \--warn packagename
-Generate a list of files that would be overwritten to the standard output, but do
-not actually install the package. The list is formatted in a suitable fashion to
-use as a list of files to backup.
-.TP
-.B \--md5sum packagename
-Record the package md5sum in the metadata written in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages.
-.TP
-.B \--root /otherroot
-Install using a location other than / (the default) as the root of the
-filesystem to install on. In the example given, use /otherroot instead. Setting
-the ROOT environment variable does the same thing.
-.TP
-.B \--infobox
-Use /bin/dialog to display an informational dialog as the package is installed.
-Primarily used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
-.TP
-.B \--menu
-Use /bin/dialog to display a menu asking the user if they would like to install the
-package(s) or not. Generally used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
-.TP
-.B \--terse
-Install the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
-.TP
-.B \--terselength <length>
-Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns.
-.TP
-.B \--ask
-Used with -menu mode. When selected, always ask if a package should be
-installed regardless of what the package's priority is.
-.TP
-.B \--priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP
-When installing with the \-menu option, package priority levels (found in the file
-"tagfile" in the package directory) are used to automatically install (ADD) or
-skip (SKP) a package, or to suggest recommended (REC) or optional (OPT) to the user
-if a menu is displayed. If a priority is set on the command line, it will override
-the values set in the tagfile for the entire package list.
-.TP
-.B \--tagfile /somedir/tagfile
-Specify a different file to use for package priorities (in this example, /somedir/tagfile
-will be used). The default is "tagfile" in the package's directory.
-.TP
-.B \--threads <number>
-For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the maximum number of threads to be used for
-decompression. Only has an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
-only on large packages. The default for plzip is the number of CPU threads available.
-The default for xz is 2.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.TP
-.B Install a font package for X:
-.P
-installpkg font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz
-.P
-Note that if a package is already installed, upgradepkg(8) should be used instead.
-.TP
-.B Create a backup of the files that would be overwritten if the package is installed:
-.P
-.nf
-tar czvf /tmp/backup.tar.gz \\
- $(installpkg --warn font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz)
