NAME
       alpm-pkginfo-format - Parse a PKGINFO file and output it in a different
       file format

SYNOPSIS
       alpm-pkginfo format [-o|--output-format] [-p|--pretty] [-h|--help]
       [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       Parse a PKGINFO file and output it in a different file format

       If the input can be validated according to a known schema, the program
       writes the PKGINFO data to stdout in a different file format
       (optionally, a file path to write to may be provided) and exits with a
       return code of 0. Currently only JSON is supported as output format. If
       the input can not be validated according to a known schema, an error is
       emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit code.

OPTIONS
       -o, --output-format=OUTPUT_FORMAT [default: json]
              The output format to use

              Currently only "json" (the default) is supported

              [possible values: json]

       -p, --pretty
              Pretty-print the output

              Has no effect if the output format can not be pretty printed.

       -h, --help
              Print help (see a summary with '-h')

       [FILE] An optional input file path to read from

              If no file path is specified, stdin is read from and expected to
              contain PKGINFO data to format.
