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.
