.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBrc-update\fR \fIadd\fR \fIscript\fR \fI<runlevels>\fR
.br

\fBrc-update\fR \fIshow\fR \fI[\-\-verbose]\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Gentoo's init system uses named runlevels.  Rather than editing some obscure 
file or managing a directory of symlinks, \fBrc-update\fR exists to quickly 
add or delete init scripts from different runlevels.

All scripts specified with this utility must reside in the \fI/etc/init.d\fR 
directory.  They must also conform to the Gentoo runscript standard.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fBadd (\-a)\fR \fIscript\fR \fI<runlevels>\fR
Add the specified \fIinit script\fR to the specified \fIrunlevels\fR.  You 
must specify at least one runlevel.

Example: rc-update add net.eth0 default
.TP
\fBdel (\-d)\fR \fIscript\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
Delete the specified \fIinit script\fR from the specified \fIrunlevels\fR.  
If you do not specify the \fIrunlevels\fR from which to delete, the script 
will be removed from all exists runlevels.

Example: rc-update del sysklogd
.TP
\fBshow (\-s)\fR \fI[\-v|\-\-verbose]\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
Show all enabled scripts and the runlevels they belong to.  If you specify 
\fIrunlevels\fR to show, then only those will be included in the output.  To 
view all init scripts, run with the \fI\-\-verbose\fR option.

Example: rc-update show
