.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a generic wrapper created by the
|
|
.Xr pkg_alternatives 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
Its purpose is to execute a program that provides a similar interface
|
|
to the one expected by the more common name
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The program to be really run is determined from a list of alternatives.
|
|
You can check which one will be executed, as well as all available
|
|
candidates, by issuing:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ pkg_alternatives -w status __WRAPPERBASE__
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once you know which alternative is the chosen one, look at its manual page
|
|
for more information.
