NAME

       sorune — a Neuros database manager

SYNOPSIS

       sorune [command]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the sorune tool.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in a README file, which  should  be
       located in the /usr/share/doc/sorune directory on Debian.

       sorune  is  a  tool  to  manage  the  database  on the Neuros Audio player.  It is written
       entirely in Perl, which makes it highly portable.  sorune does not keep a  local  copy  of
       any  of  the  metadata  about  the  user's  audio library on the host machine.  The Neuros
       database is manipulated directly, which  eliminates  the  need  to  identify  each  Neorus
       backpack that is connected to the host machine.
