=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<--force-key>

Force update of GPG key.

=item B<--ignore>, B<--no-ignore>

Don't update media, but mark them as ignored (that is, disables them).
B<--no-ignore> has the reverse behaviour: it marks the media as enabled.

=item B<--limit-rate I<rate>>

Try to limit the download speed, I<rate> is given in bytes/sec. This
option is not active by default.

Use specified HTTP proxy.

=item B<--proxy-user> I<user:password>

Use specified user and password to use for proxy authentication.
Specifying B<--proxy-user=ask> will cause urpmi.update to prompt for a
username and a password.

Use the file system tree rooted for urpmi database and rpm install. Contrary
to B<--root>, the urpmi configuration comes from the rooted tree.
