meshca@1 10 Spk is the main tool to handle and play with SliTaz packages, it handles multiple
paul@12 11 packages on a cmdline and a wide range of --options which will perform tasks such
pankso@5 12 as adding or removing packages using the toolset. Spk itself provides some small
pankso@0 13 commands such as ls or info.
