.IP
+.IP "\fBmakecache\fP"
+Is used to download and make usable all the metadata for the currently enabled
+\fByum\fP repos.
+.IP
+.IP "\fBgroupinstall\fP"
+Is used to install all of the individual packages in a group, of the specified
+types (this works as if you'd taken each of those package names and put them on
+the command line for a "yum install" command).
+ The group_package_types configuration option specifies which types will
+be installed.
+.IP
+.IP "\fBgroupupdate\fP"
+Is just an alias for groupinstall, which will do the right thing because
+"yum install X" and "yum update X" do the same thing, when X is already
+installed.
+.IP
+.IP "\fBgrouplist\fP"
+Is used to list the available groups from all \fByum\fP repos. Groups are marked
+as "installed" if all mandatory packages are installed, or if a group doesn't
+have any mandatory packages then it is installed if any of the optional or
+default package are installed.
+The optional "hidden" argument will also list groups marked as not being
+"user visible".
+.IP
+.IP "\fBgroupremove\fP"
+Is used to remove all of the pacakges in a group, unlike "groupinstall" this
+will remove everything regardless of group_package_types. It is worth pointing
+out that packages can be in more than one group, so "groupinstall X Y" followed
+by "groupremove Y" does not do give you the same result as "groupinstall X".
+.IP
+.IP "\fBgroupinfo\fP"
+Is used to give the description and package list of a group (and which type
+those packages are marked as). Note that you can use the yum-filter-data and
+yum-list-data plugins to get/use the data the other way around (Ie. what
+groups own packages need updating).
+.IP
.IP "\fBshell\fP"
Is used to enter the 'yum shell', when a filename is specified the contents of
that file is executed in yum shell mode. See \fIyum-shell(8)\fP for more info
