NAME
       pacconf - query pacman's configuration file

SYNOPSIS
        pacconf [options] [<directive>...]
        pacconf (--repo-list|--help|--version)

DESCRIPTION
       Query configuration options from pacman's configuration file.  If no
       directives are provided, the entire configuration will be printed in a
       normalized format.  By default, if only a single directive is provided,
       only its value will be printed without the option name.  For directives
       without a value, the directive name will be used as the value.

       The values displayed are the final values as would be parsed by pacman
       itself.  All default values are set, "Include" directives are
       processed, $arch and $repo variables in repository servers are
       replaced, and "Architecture" will be replaced if set to "auto".

OPTIONS
       --config=path
           Set an alternate configuration file path.

       --root=path
           Set an alternate installation root.

       --sysroot=path
           Set an alternate system root.  See pacutils-sysroot(7).

       --arch=arch
           Set an alternate architecture.

       --null[=sep]
           Set an alternate separator for values parsed from stdin.  By
           default a newline "\n" is used as the separator.  If --null is used
           without specifying sep "NUL" will be used.

       --options
           Only display global settings from the "[options]" section.  The
           "[options]" header itself is not printed.

       --raw
           Display unmodified values.  "Include" directives will be processed,
           but defaults will not be set, $arch and $repo variables in
           repository servers will not be replaced, and "Architecture" will
           not be replaced if set to "auto".

       --repo=name
           Only display directives for repository name.  The repository header
           is not printed.

       --repo-list
           List configured repositories.

       --single
           Display only first value of multi-value options.

       --verbose
           Always show directive names even if only one directive is provided.

       --help
           Display usage information and exit.

       --version
           Display version information and exit.

EXAMPLES
       Check if color is enabled:
            color=$(pacconf color)
            [[ -n $color ]] && ... # print something in color
