NAME

       epminstall - add a directory, file, or symlink to a list file.

SYNOPSIS

       epminstall options file1 file2 ... fileN directory
       epminstall options file1 file2
       epminstall options -d directory1 directory2 ... directoryN

DESCRIPTION

       epminstall  adds  or  replaces  a directory, file, or symlink in a list
       file. The default list file is "epm.list" and can be  overridden  using
       the EPMLIST environment variable or the --list-file option.

       Entries  are  either  added to the end of the list file or replaced in-
       line. Comments, directives, and variable declarations in the list  file
       are preserved.
