NAME
apt-cyg - package manager utility
SYNOPSIS
apt-cyg [operation] [options] [targets]
DESCRIPTION
apt-cyg is a package management utility that tracks installed packages on a Cygwin system. Invoking apt-cyg involves specifying an operation with any potential options and targets to operate on. A target is usually a package name, file name, URL, or a search string. Targets can be provided as command line arguments.
OPERATIONS
install Install package(s).
remove Remove package(s) from the system.
update Download a fresh copy of the master package list (setup.ini) from the server defined in setup.rc.

show Display information on given package(s).
depends Produce a dependency tree for a package.
rdepends Produce a tree of packages that depend on the named package.
list Search each locally-installed package for names that match regexp. If no package names are provided in the command line, all installed packages will be queried.

search Search for downloaded packages that own the specified file(s). The path can be relative or absolute, and one or more files can be specified.
searchall Search cygwin.com to retrieve file information about packages. The provided target is considered to be a filename and searchall will return the package(s) which contain this file.
