     software - list .software keys


SYNOPSIS
     software
     software key [ key... ]
     software -k expression
     software -help


DESCRIPTION
     software is a perl script that will list the current keys in
     the  software environment database. These keys can be set in
     your $HOME/.software file to enable you to use applications.

     When invoked with no arguments, software displays  the  list
     of  all  .software  keys and macros. When invoked with a key
     (or list of keys), it will print the key (if it  is  in  the
     database)  and  the  description  of  the key.  The software
     database can also  be  searched,  using  the  -k  expression
     option.  All  database entries which match expression in the
     key name or description will be printed,  along  with  their
     description.
