NAME

       pyntor-components - manage components for the presentation program Pyntor

SYNOPSIS

       pyntor-components [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Pyntor-components  is a helper utility which deals with all the components which are made available to Pyntor. Components can reside in the
       installation directory, but the user can override them with a user directory and again with components in the current  directory.   Pyntor-
       components  helps to sort through the available components by listing them. In case the component comes with documentation included, it can
       be displayed as well.

OPTIONS

       -l, --list
	      Displays a formatted list of all components. For each component, all occurrences are reported, which might be between one and  three
	      directories.

       -d, --doc=component
	      Displays	the  documentation  for the specified component. If no documentation is included, or the component could not be loaded, an
	      error is displayed instead.

       -u, --update
	      Displays a graphical dialog which allows the download of new components via the GHNS (Get Hot New Stuff) framework.  Components  are
	      installed into ~/.pyntor/components and can be used immediately.	This is an experimental feature based on the SDLNewStuff library.

       -v, --version
	      Displays the version number of Pyntor-components.

       -h, --help
	      Displays a summary of all available command line options.
