       --derives-from vendor
	      Exits with 0 if the current vendor distribution is a derivative of vendor, otherwise exits with non-zero. It uses the "Parent" field
	      to browse all ancestors of the current vendor.

       --query field
	      Print on standard output the value of the vendor-specific field for the current vendor.

       --help Show the usage message and exit.

       --version

	      gins/default.
