AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Updated extensions are automatically
copied to a backup folder in the tce directory. If an updated extension
doesn't work out, simply restore the original from a list in Dialog:
type: "update --restore"
To delete extensions from the backup folder:
type: "update -rembak"
Failed updates are automatically restored to the tce directory.

example: "update -sd" or "update -sd fontconfig"
Search through listbase (if present) for extensions that use the search file.
example: "update -sl soundon" Finds files associated with OSS extension
