no default search set, you will be prompted to use the search command to |
find a package. |
If describe is called with a numeric argument, that number is set as the |
default package and the information about that package is returned. If |
the number given doesn't exist, you will be prompted to use search to |
find a package. Also, you can use describe to get descriptions of |
several packages. For example: |
describe 4-7 |
will return descriptions of packages 4 through 7 in the current search |
request. You can also enter: |
describe 3-4,10 |
to get information on packages 3, 4 and 10. |
If you specify a URL as the argument to describe, PPM will describe the |
package located at the URL. The URL must point to a PPD file. The URL |
can also point to a PPD file on your computer. |
When the describe command is given a name with a wildcard (such as ""*"" |
or ""?"") it executes the search command with the given argument. For |
example, describe Tk* will return the name(s) of any packages that match |
the search parameters. |
