Help on 'alternatives'                                          Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Debian has a system that allows programs to register themselves as 'generic'
programs, like 'editor' or 'pager'. This system, known as 'alternatives',
can be configured using Feta.

The list of alternatives that can be configured is in the /etc/alternatives
directory. Each file in there points to another file on the filesystem that
is the "real" program.

Debian automatically recommends a "best" alternative from all those
installed, using the + sign. The currently selected alternative is shown
with a *.

EXAMPLES
--------
To change your default text editor:
 # feta alternatives editor

OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
Feta uses update-alternatives(8) to configure alternatives, which has
several other purposes that may also be useful.
