+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+\&\fBopenpkg release\fR [\fB\-F\fR|\fB\-\-fmt\fR \fIformat\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBopenpkg release\fR command displays the OpenPKG release tag and
+distribution \s-1URL\s0. The release tag uniquely identifies an OpenPKG
+distribution and the distribution \s-1URL\s0 is the location where the
+distribution packages and indices are stored.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-fmt\fR \fIformat\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-F, --fmt format"
+The output format specification. The argument \fIformat\fR is an arbitrary
+string which can contain the special expansion constructs "\f(CW%t\fR\*(L" for
+expanding the release tag, \*(R"\f(CW%u\fR\*(L" for expanding the distribution \s-1URL\s0
+and \*(R"\f(CW\*(C`\en\*(C'\fR" for expanding an embedded newline character. 
+The instance \s-1UUID\s0 information is also availble by expanding
+\&\f(CW%r\fR to \s-1UUID_REGISTRY\s0, \f(CW%i\fR to \s-1UUID_INSTANCE\s0, \f(CW%p\fR to \s-1UUID_PLATFORM\s0.
+The default \fIformat\fR is "\f(CW\*(C`OpenPKG\-%t %u\*(C'\fR".
+.IP "\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-release\fR \fIrelease\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-r, --release release"
+The package "\f(CW\*(C`Release\*(C'\fR" header value to use for deriving the release
+tag. The values in the \fI@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release\fR file and the
+"\f(CW\*(C`Release\*(C'\fR" header of the bootstrap package \fBopenpkg\fR are ignored if
+this option is used.
+.SH "FILES"
+.IX Header "FILES"
+.IP "\fI@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release\fR" 4
+.IX Item "@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release"
+This optional configuration file can be used to explicitly set values
+for the OpenPKG release tag and distribution URLs. It consists of lines
+with variable name/value pairs. The following configuration variables
+are recognized:
+.RS 4
+.IP "\fBTAG=\fR\fItag\fR" 4
+.IX Item "TAG=tag"
+The default \fItag\fR is automatically derived from the "\f(CW\*(C`Version\*(C'\fR" header
+of the OpenPKG bootstrap package \fBopenpkg\fR. One usually only sets this
+explicitly to a value if a bootstrap package is used from a foreign
+distribution version.
+.IP "\fBURL=\fR\fIurl\fR" 4
+.IX Item "URL=url"
+The fully-qualified distribution \s-1URL\s0 based on either the "\f(CW\*(C`ftp\*(C'\fR\*(L",
+\&\*(R"\f(CW\*(C`http\*(C'\fR\*(L" or \*(R"\f(CW\*(C`file\*(C'\fR" \s-1URL\s0 schemes. If \fIurl\fR contains a trailing
+"\f(CW\*(C`/*\*(C'\fR", this is expanded according to the \fItag\fR value of the \fB\s-1TAG\s0\fR
+variable and the corresponding filesystem layout on \f(CW\*(C`ftp.openpkg.org\*(C'\fR.
+The default \fIurl\fR is "\f(CW\*(C`ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/*\*(C'\fR".
