| set | This is the execline:std metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of execline:std. |
| primary | Execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, like sh(1) - but its syntax is quite different from a traditional shell syntax. The execlineb program is meant to be used as an interpreter for a text file; the other commands are essentially useful inside an execlineb script. Execline is as powerful as a shell: it features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling, filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile, its syntax is far more logic and predictable than the shell's syntax, and has no security issues. |
| dev | This is the developer subpackage of the execline:std port. It may contain headers, pc files, static and PIC libraries and SO links. |
| man | This is the man page subpackage of the execline:std port. |
