* **-u, --upgrade**
Execute aggregate upgrade routine on all or specified containers. Use **-t, --target=TARGET** to limit
package synhronization operations to the specified target containers. Packages applicable to
package synchronization operations to the specified target containers. Packages applicable to
a target **must** be specified only after the target operand.

* **-b, --base**
Base container type. Specify alongside **-c, --create** to assign this container type during creation.
This container type is used as the base layer for all downstream containers. Only one base container
dependency per slice or per root is supported. Filesystem and package deduplication via slices
and root containers is recommended, but optional.

* **-d, --slice**
* **-s, --slice**
Slice container type. Specify alongside **-c, --create** to assign this container type during creation.
Requires a base dependency target, and optionally sliced dependency target(s), in order to ascertain
foreign packages and influence ordering of downstream synchronization target(s). Container slicing
provides the ability to install packages in a lightweight, sliced filesytem, which aid in the
deduplication of common downstream package and filesystem dependencies e.g. graphics drivers,
graphical toolkits, fonts, etc..
* **-r, --root**
Root container type. Specify alongside **-c, --create** to this assign container type during creation.
Requires a base dependency target, and optionally sliced dependency targets, in order to ascertain
foreign packages and influence ordering of this target. These containers are ideal for installing
software in with the least amount of filesystem and package synchronization overhead.

Useful for graphics drivers, graphical toolkits, fonts, etc.; these are not meant for applications.
* **-a, --aggegrate**
Aggregate container type. Specify alongside **-c, --create** to this assign container type during creation.
Requires a base dependency, and optionally one or more sliced dependencies, in order to acertain foreign
packages and amalgamate the target. These containers are ideal for installing software with the aid of
filesystem and package deduplication.
Useful for all general purpose applications, browsers, e-mail clients, and even terminal user interface
applications such as IRC clients. It is recommended to base your containers on aggregate type containers.
* **-t, --target=TARGET**
Specify a target container for the specified operation.
* **-d, --dep=DEPEND**
Specify a dependent container for the specified operation.
* **-o, --target-only**
Apply specified operation on the specified target only.
