.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility installs and updates packages in the target root directory.
Three different ways are valid for
.Ar PKG :
by specifying just the
package name (best available version from repositories will be installed);
by specifying a package pattern with '>' '<' '>=' or '<=' (foo>=2.0) or
by specifying an exact package version, i.e (foo-1.0_1).

if no package is depending on it directly.

Specifies a full path to the XBPS configuration file.
.It Fl c, Fl -cachedir Ar dir
Specifies a full path to the cache directory, where binary packages are stored.
.It Fl d, Fl -debug

overwritting its package files.
