+NAME
+----
+
+cave - A commandline client for the other package mangler.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+*cave [ --environment class:suffix ] [ --log-level level ] COMMAND [ARGS...]*
+
+*cave help [ --all ]*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The front-end to a number of commands.
+
+For the COMMAND argument, see \'cave help' for a list of common commands, or
+\'cave help --all' for all commands. To see documentation for a command named
+\'foo', use \'man cave-foo'.
+
+
+In addition to built-in commands, cave will also look in the directories named
+in the colon-separated CAVE_COMMANDS_PATH environment variable, or, if unset,
+\'/usr/libexec/cave/commands'. Any executables in this path will also be
+available as commands (with any file extension stripped); these executables
+may use the $CAVE environment variable to get access to the main cave program.
+
+
+Arguments specified after the COMMAND are handled by the individual commands.
+Arguments before the COMMAND are global arguments shared by all commands.
+
+

+
+CORE COMMANDS
+-------------
+
+config::
+Perform post-install configuration on a package. Note that most packages do
+not provide a post-install configuration script.
+
+contents::
+Display the contents of (files installed by) a given package ID.
+
+fix-linkage::
+Identifies packages with broken linkage that can be fixed by rebuilds. If
+instructed, then executes the relevant install and uninstall actions to do
+said fixing.
+
+help::
+Display help information for a particular command.
+
+import::
+Import a package from a directory containing its image. A named directory is
+treated as holding the contents to install, and a dummy package name is
+provided on the command line. Safe merge, unmerge, upgrade and replace support
+is provided, as is content tracking for installed files.
+
+info::
+Displays a formatted summary of configuration and package information, e.g.
+for use when submitting bug reports. The package names of any relevant
+packages for bug reports should be passed as parameters.
+
+owner::
+Shows package IDs owning a given file.
+
+purge::
+Uninstalls any package that is not either in \'world' or a dependency of a
+package in \'world'.
+
+report::
+Displays a formatted summary of potential problems with installed packages.
+
+resolve::
+Displays how to resolve one or more targets. If instructed, then executes the
+relevant install and uninstall actions to perform that resolution.
+
+resume::
+Resumes a failed resultion from \'cave resolve'. To enable resumes, use \'cave
+resolve --resume-file state --execute', and then if errors occur, use \'cave
+resume --resume-file state [ --retry-failed ] [ --retry-skipped ]' to try
+again.
+
+search::
+Searches for packages with particular characteristics.
+
+show::
+Displays a formatted summary of a given object. If the object is a set, the
+set's contents are listed. If the object is a repository name, information
+about the repository is displayed. If the object is a package dep spec with
+wildcards, possible expansions are shown. If the object is a package dep spec
+without wildcards, information about matching IDs are shown.
+
+sync::
+Syncs repositories. If any repository names are specified, these repositories
+are synced. Otherwise, all syncable repositories are synced.
+
+uninstall::
+Uninstalls one or more packages. Note that \'cave uninstall' simply rewrites
+the supplied dependency specifications and then uses \'cave resolve' to do the
+work; \'cave uninstall foo' is the same as \'cave resolve !foo'.
+
+SUPPLEMENTAL COMMANDS
+---------------------
+
+dump-cave-formats-conf::
+Outputs suitable contents for ~/.cave/formats.conf. This file can be used to
+customise the output format for many cave commands (although not commands
+designed for script use, such as print-*).
+
+executables::
+Display executables belonging to an ID.
+
+fix-cache::
+Fixes on-disk caches. Normally this is handled automatically when needed (e.g.
+after a sync, or when a package is installed), but a forced fix-cache is
+required after a different package manager has been used, or if a repository
+is modified without a sync.
+
+generate-metadata::
+Pregenerates metadata for a set of IDs.
+
+manage-search-index::
+Manages a search index for use by cave search. A search index is only valid
+until a package is installed or uninstalled, or a sync is performed, or
+configuration is changed.
+
+size::
+Shows the size of files installed by a package.
+
+sync-protocol-options::
+Displays options for a given sync protocol.
+
+update-world::
+Adds or removes items from the world set. This command is only for changing
+the contents of the world set; it does not install or uninstall anything.
+
+verify::
+Verify than an installed package's files haven't changed. Note that there are
+legitimate reasons for some files (such as configuration files) to have been
+changed after a merge, and that some packages may install files that are not
+directly tracked by the package manager.
+
+DEVELOPMENT COMMANDS
+--------------------
+
+digest::
+Generates a digest file for a particular package in a particular repository.
+
+mirror::
+Fetches files for a set of IDs.

+
+INTERNAL COMMANDS
+-----------------
+
+display-resolution::
+Displays a dependency resolution created using \'cave resolve'. Mostly for
+internal use; most users will not use this command directly.
+
+execute-resolution::
+Execute a dependency resolution created using \'cave resolve'. Mostly for
+internal use; most users will not use this command directly.
+
+find-candidates::
+Finds a list of candidate packages for a search. Used by \'cave search'; not
+generally called directly by end users. Note that this command will often
+select candidates that do not actually match some of the supplied
+restrictions; use \'cave match' to obtain accurate results.
+
+graph-jobs::
+Creates a Graphviz graph for jobs in a resolution created using \'cave
+resolve'. Mostly for internal use; most users will not use this command
+directly.
+
+match::
+Determines whether a particular package version has certain properties. Mostly
+for use by \'cave search'; not generally for use by end users.
+
+perform::
+Perform an action upon a package. Not suitable for direct use, although it may
