NAME
       synaptic - graphical management of software packages

SYNOPSIS
       synaptic [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Synaptic is a frontend for the apt package managent system.  It allows you to perform all actions of the command line
       tool  apt-get  in  a  graphical environment. This includes installing, upgrading, downgrading  and removing of single
       packages or even upgrading your whole system.

       A manual with detailed instructions can be found in the help menu of Synaptic.

OPTIONS
       Synaptic accepts all of the standard GTK toolkit command line options as well as the following:

       -f, --filter-file=filename
	      specify an alternative filter settings file

       -i, --initial-filter=int
	      apply the filter with number int at startup

       -o, --option=option
	      set an internal option (experts only)
