===== Use the program =====
poldek provides two commands: **poldek** with rpm-like command line interface and **ipoldek** with interactive mode command interface. Invoking syntax is: 



<file>$ poldek [OPTION...] [PACKAGE...]
$ ipoldek [OPTION...] [COMMAND] [COMMAND_OPTION...] [PACKAGE...]
</file>
For example to install or upgrade Apache HTTP server: 

<file>$ poldek -uv apache 
$ ipoldek install apache
</file>
**poldek** provides comfortable shell-like mode which puts you into a readline interface. To enter it, execute **poldek** or **ipoldek** without any command:  

<file>$ poldek
Loading [pndir]titanium...
Loading [pndir]titanium-ready...
10998 packages read
Loading [rpmdbcache]/var/lib/rpm...
1498 packages read

Welcome to the poldek shell mode. Type "help" for help with commands.

poldek:/all-avail>

</file>
Once you are on poldek's command line, type 'help' and the rest should be, more or less, self-explanatory.
