+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vkpurge
+.Nd remove old kernel files/modules
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Cm list
+.Nm
+.Cm rm
+.Op Ar versions\ ... | Cm all
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command is used to properly remove old or unwanted kernels from an
+x86-based Void Linux system, by running the appropiate removal hooks
+and doing the removal.
+.Ss Justification
+.Xr xbps-install 1
+will leave old kernels in place when the kernel package gets upgraded, and
+.Xr xbps-remove 1
+will only be able to remove the latest kernel in a version,
+for example 4.3.4_4, but it would need to leave behind 4.3.4_3.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Ic list
+Provide a list of installed kernel versions.
+.It Ic rm
+Remove kernels.
+Must be followed by either a version number or the literal
+.Sq Ic all .
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Nm
+exits with a 0 code unless the help text was printed.
+Since there is no proper invocation to trigger a print of the help,
+this can be summarized: if there was a proper invocation of
+.Nm
+then the command will exit 0.
+Otherwise, the exit code is 1.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following will list all installed kernels.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ vkpurge list
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following command will delete the kernel version 2.6.39_2 with all
+kernel-specific files such as compiled modules.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# vkpurge rm 2.6.39_2
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following command will delete the kernels with version 2.6.39_2 and 4.3.4_1

+There is no support as of yet for non-x86 platforms.
