-<note warning>Current Working Point</note>+Sometimes it may be necessary to rename the SlackBuild archive for an application to avoid naming conflicts and simplify the organization of the packages in sbopkg. If you wish to apply alternate names to known SlackBuilds you will should first create a new file in the **/etc/sbopkg/renames.d/** directory that follows the debian style naming of {number}-{name}.renames, I recommend a simple name like 70-custom.renames so the default file takes precedence.
  
 +The file contents are very simple, OldName=NewName.
 +An example would be to rename the i3 window manager SlackBuild to i3wm so it is better reflected as a window manager.
 +Create a new file named **/etc/sbopkg/renames.d/70-custom.renames**, open the file in your favorite text editor and add the following:
 +<code># oldname=newname
 +i3=i3wm</code> 
 +
 +As you can see the comment was added to make future modifications easier and the syntax is also very simple to understand.

 The sbopkg application has two possible modes, CLI and GUI. Both have pros and cons, as with any tool, the user should utilize the balance of tools that best fit their needs. The sbopkg application has two possible modes, CLI and GUI.

 +<note> **The listed options may be out-of-date** \\ Refer to the command ''sbopkg -h'' to confirm which options are available in your installed version.</note>
 +
 +The most basic and functional use of the **sbopkg** utility is through the command line, the only real limitation is lacking the ability to generate queu files.
 +
 +=== First Use ===
 +After the application is installed, your first task is to create the necessary files and pull a copy of the active SlabkBuilds.org repo.
 +
 +To accomplish all of the listed tasks you simply need to issue the command to sync the repo.
 +<code>root@darkstar#sbopkg -r</code>
 +//This will also create the necessary directories to hold the repo, cache, queue files and output packages.//
 +
 +Upon completion of the syncronization procedure you are free to build, install or inspect all slackbuild from http://www.SlackBuilds.org which have been downloaded into your local filesystem.
 +
 +=== General Use ===
 +
 +**Basic Commands**
 +  * **-u** - check for an update to sbopkg.
 +  * **-r** - Sync the local repo
 +  * **-c** - check for updates to installed SBo packages
 +  * **-d** - Download the source archive for the selected application(s).
 +  * **-b** - Download the source and build packages for the selected application(s).
 +  * **-i** - Download the source, build packages and install/upgrade packages for the selected application(s).
 +  * **-k** - skip selected process for installed application(s)
 +
 +**Search and Display Options**
 +  * **-R** - Display the README for the selected application.
 +  * **-g** - Search for package name that matches a string.
 +  * **-s** - Search for a specific package and display the package information.
 +
 +**Cache and File Maintenance**
 +  * **-o** - Display the obsolete source files and prompt for deletion.
 +  * **-P** - Display the cache files for uninstalled apps and prompt for deletion.
