DESCRIPTION
     lget is part of the Lunar source-code package management  suite.  It  is  a
     command-line tool for automatically downloading a modules associated source
     files.

OPTIONS
     lget   module_1 <module_2> <module_3>

     This automatically downloads the specified module sources.

     lget -a|--all

     Download the source code for every single module in moonbase (about 2.5G as
     of	 08/08/2003).	This  is useful if you have a fast link or want to start
     your own Lunar source code mirror.

     lget -d|--debug

     Enables debug messages, very useful when emailing a bug report.

     lget -f|--from path/dir

     This specifies a different /var/spool/lunar directory. This is the	 default
     location for downloaded sources.

     lget -h|--help

     Outputs short help.

     lget -u|--url URL module_1

     This tries to download the specified module from a different location. This
     is useful if the original link is down.

     lget -w|--want version

     Attempt  to download version version of the module by substituting the cur-
     rent version of the module with the wanted version. May fail if the package
     requires more than one file download, or other reasons.

     Download sources using ipv4.

     Download sources using ipv6.

	    leave  these  alone as they are in quite good places by default. See
	    lin(8) for more details about these files.

	    Contains functions used by lget
