# pyntor-components(1)

manage components for the presentation program Pyntor

## 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.
