USAGE
    xs xdc.tools.path.sg [--packagepath PATH]
DETAILS
This graphical interactive tool displays the packages located along any specified package repository path.
At startup, this tool shows the packages located along the current package path; i.e.,
      $XDCPATH;$XDCROOT/packages;^
where $XDCPATH is the value of the the user settable prefix of the package path, $XDCROOT is the installation directory of the XDC tools, and ^ is the repository of the package in the current working directory (if it exists). To specify a package path other than the current package path, use the --packagepath option. Only semicolon delimited canonical paths should be specifed as arguments with the --packagepath option. Environment variables such as $XDCROOT and special designators such as '^' should not be used.
BUGS
This tool scans all packages available along the current package path before displaying the user interface. So, a repository in the package path that contains a large number of sub-directories, such as '/', causes very long delays before the user interface is displayed.
While it is easy to see that you should not put '/' in the package path, it is less obvious that installing a package at '/' has the same effect.
