+.TH EXPLODEPKG 8 "21 May 1994" "Slackware Version 2.0.0"
+.SH NAME
+explodepkg \- Extract the contents of a tar+compression package (such as a Slackware
+software package) in the current directory.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B explodepkg
+.BI package
+.BI [
+.BI package2,
+.BI package3,
+.BI ...
+.BI ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B explodepkg
+uncompresses and untars Slackware *.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz) packages (or any archive
+that was created by
+compressing a tarfile with one of the supported compression utilities) in the current directory. It is not usually
+used to install packages, since it doesn't execute the installation scripts
+in ./install or ./var/log/setup. The primary use for
+.B explodepkg
+is in package maintenance - exploding a package in a subdirectory, making fixes
+to it or upgrading the software, and then building the updated package with
+.B makepkg.
