USAGE:

  module-assistant update
  module-assistant [options] COMMAND [ packages ]

module-assistant is the tool to get debianized source of kernel modules,
build module package from it and install them. The most frequently used
command may be auto-install followed by the 'alli' argument.

Commands:

  update - refresh internal information about the packages
  unpack - unpacks the tarballs of specified packages (or similar action)
  get - download/install the source (package) and unpack if needed
  build - build the specified package(s)
  list - print information about installed/available/compiled packages
  install - install the generated binary modules DEB package with dpkg
  auto-install - the whole process, get & build & install (abbreviated: a-i)
  prepare - install headers for the current kernel and set the linux symlink
  clean - quick clean of the source (eg. wiping the build directory)
  purge - removes cached data and existing modules packages
  la (alias for "list all"), li (= "list all installed"), search (= "list
-s")

Package arguments:

  Source package name(s). If -src or -source is omitted, name
  completion will try to guess the package name. If the first argument
  is 'all', the list will be expanded to all packages. 'alli' will be
  expanded to "all installed".

Options:
 -h, --help        Print this help screen
 -v, --verbose     Be verbose, show full paths, etc.
 -q, --quiet       The opposite of verbose

                   this kernel exists (even an old one)
 -i, --non-inter   Don't stop on build failures, auto-install deps when
needed
 -o, --unpack-once Unpack the source only once after source upgrade or clean
 -s, --apt-search  Search for installation candidates in the Debian archive
 -f, --force       Force duplicated work: source package reinstallation,
                   rebuild though existing packages are found, etc.
 -t, --text-mode   Text mode, no dialog boxes
 -u, --userdir     Specifies a (writeable) replacement directory for
/var&/usr
 -k, --kernel-dir  List of kernel headers/source directories, comma

Lists in options are strings separated by commas, spaces or newlines.
