| Summary: Maintain symbolic links determining default commands | |
update-alternatives creates, removes, maintains and displays information about the symbolic links comprising the alternatives system. It is possible for several programs fulfilling the same or similar functions to be installed on a single system at the same time. For example, many systems have several text editors installed at once. This gives choice to the users of a system, allowing each to use a different editor, if desired, but makes it difficult for a program to make a good choice of editor to invoke if the user has not specified a particular preference. On SUSE Linux, this functionality is only used for packages that are part of the JPackage project <http://www.jpackage.org/>
