DESCRIPTION

Usepackage is an environment management program. It is based on the principle of packages - collections of executables that share a common set of necessary environment variables, such as PATH, MANPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

For each given package, use sources the appropriate environment information into the current shell. The environment information is specified in a configuration file, see usepackage(1).

OPTIONS

-s
Silence warnings for un-matched packages. This is useful in a shell rc script when a package is known not to be available on all architectures that the shell is used on.
-f file
Specify an alternate initial configuration file.
-l
List available packages and groups.

FILES

/usr/share/usepackage/usepackage.conf
The default configuration file.
/usr/share/usepackage/use.csh
Shell setup for csh and derivatives.
/usr/share/usepackage/use.bsh
Shell setup for bourne shell and derivatives.
/usr/share/usepackage/use.ksh
Shell setup for ksh.
/usr/bin/usepackage
The underlying Usepackage executable.

ENVIRONMENT

Other than the reading and re-definition of environment variables for package setup, use also uses the following environment variables for user configuration:
PACKAGES_PATH
Colon-separated path list giving the directories to search for configuration files. Shell-style tilde (~) user-directory escapes are expanded.
