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.
