NAME

       gambas-apt.gambas  -  program  to  install  Debian  packages from a web
       browser

SYNOPSIS

       gambas-apt.gambas [user] package

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gambas-apt.gambas
        command

       gambas-apt.gambas  is  a  program  installed  by  the  aptlinex  Debian
       package.   Executing  it  from  a  command  line does not have too much
       sense, only for debugging purposes.

       The program will install the package using  standard  apt  utils.   The
       installation  will  be  done according to the sources.list the user has
       already setup. gambas-apt will not modify that setup.  If  the  package
       has  a  freedesktop.org menu or a Debian menu, after installing it will
       show a dialog offering to create a Desktop launcher.

       The logical use of this program is being launched from a  web  browser,
       answering to a link using the apt:// protocol.

OPTIONS

       These program only have a possible option:

       user   user name that launches gambas-apt. If ommited it will be ’root’
