    search:  Search for package(s) - Does not have a second prompt.
    
    update:  Updates all packages accessible to the wrapper - does
             not accept <input>, instead use install to update 
             individual packages. Has a confirmation prompt.

    cleanup: Attempts to repair broken dependencies and remove any
             unused packages. Does not accept <input>, but has 
             a confirmation prompt.

flags: 
    --help/-h: Display this page

input: 
    Provide a package name or description.

How you can help

• Work on translations into languages not finished yet by either editing the po/<language_code>.po file, making a new one by running cp po/rhino-pkg.pot po/<language_code>.po, or using weblate (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/rhino-linux/rhino-pkg/). Once you have completed or partially completed a po file, make a PR and we will merge it! Our goal is to have as many languages translated as possible due to the amount of people who may not be fluent in English.
