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.
