NAME
       pacoball - Binary package support for paco(8).


SYNOPSIS
       pacoball [-bgftv] [-d DIR] [-1..9] [-a|<packages>]
       pacoball -e [-ltv] [-C DIR] <pacoballs>


DESCRIPTION
       By  default, pacoball may be given one or more package names as arguments, and for each of those packages
       it creates a binary tarball (.tar.bz2 or .tar.gz) containing all the currently installed files. For  this
       to work the input packages have to be registered in the paco database.
       Leading slashes ('/') are stripped from the paths of the files in the tarballs.

       With  option  -e, pacoball admits one or more previously created tarballs ("pacoballs") as arguments, and
       installs them into the system, optionally logging the installation with paco.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
