+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B installpkg
+installs single or multiple *.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz) binary packages designed
+for use with the Slackware Linux distribution onto your system.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--warn packagename
+Generate a report to the standard output about which files and directories
+would be removed or overwritten if you install the package, but do not
+actually install it.
+.TP
+.B \--md5sum packagename
+Record the package md5sum in the metadata written in /var/log/packages.
+.TP
+.B \--root /otherroot
+Install using a location other than / (the default) as the root of the
+filesystem to install on.  In the example given, use /otherroot instead.  Setting
+the ROOT environment variable does the same thing.
+.TP
+.B \--infobox
+Use /bin/dialog to display an informational dialog as the package is installed.
+Primarily used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--menu
+Use /bin/dialog to display a menu asking the user if they would like to install the
+package(s) or not.  Generally used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--ask
+Used with -menu mode.  When selected, always ask if a package should be
+installed regardless of what the package's priority is.
+.TP
+.B \--priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP
+When installing with the \-menu option, package priority levels (found in the file
+"tagfile" in the package directory) are used to automatically install (ADD) or 
+skip (SKP) a package, or to suggest recommended (REC) or optional (OPT) to the user
+if a menu is displayed.  If a priority is set on the command line, it will override
+the values set in the tagfile for the entire package list.
+.TP
+.B \--tagfile /somedir/tagfile
+Specify a different file to use for package priorities (in this example, /somedir/tagfile
+will be used).  The default is "tagfile" in the package's directory.
