bpkg-cfg-info - print configuration information

bpkg cfg-info [options]

The cfg-info command prints the current configuration's absolute path, id, type, and name. If the --link and/or --backlink options are specified, then this information is also printed for each linked and/or implicitly backlinked configuration, if any. Note that the dangling implicit backlinks are silently skipped, unless --dangling is specified, in which case this information is also printed for them. Note that the information is written to stdout, not stderr.

If the --recursive option is specified together with --link and/or --backlink, then this information is printed for linked and/or implicitly backlinked configuration, recursively.

The output format is regular with each value printed on a separate line and prefixed with the value name. If the --link, --backlink, and/or --dangling options are specified, then information blocks corresponding to linked configurations are separated with blank lines. For example:

path: /path/to/cfg/
uuid: 8d439f03-7342-4502-8b1c-74b173869478
type: target
name: foo
path: /path/to/host-cfg/
uuid: 7ee4dab3-07d9-4163-81c0-3779166a7213
type: host
name: tools
path: /path/to/build2-cfg/
uuid: d453aa2a-92c4-4066-87e4-c8672eed06e1
type: build2
