PACTREE(8) Pacman-contrib Manual PACTREE(8) NAME pactree - package dependency tree viewer SYNOPSIS pactree [options] DESCRIPTION pactree produces a dependency tree for a package. By default, a tree-like output is generated, but with the --graph option, a Graphviz description is generated. OPTIONS -a, --ascii Use ASCII characters for tree formatting. By default, pactree will use Unicode line drawing characters if it is able to detect that the locale supports them. -c, --color Colorize output. --config Specify an alternate pacman configuration file. -b, --dbpath Specify an alternative database location. --debug Print log messages produced by libalpm. -d, --depth Limits the number of levels of dependency to show. A zero means show the named package only, one shows the packages that are directly required. --gpgdir Specify an alternate GnuPG directory for verifying database signatures (default is /etc/pacman.d/gnupg). -g, --graph Generate a Graphviz description. If this option is given, the --color and --linear options are ignored. -h, --help Display syntax and command-line options. -l, --linear Prints package names at the start of each line, one per line. -o, --optional[=depth] Additionally prints optional dependencies up to a certain depth, default 1 for immediate optional dependencies. When used in conjunction with -r it shows which packages it is optional for. In Graphviz mode, produce dotted lines. Negative values mean infinite depth. -r, --reverse Show packages that depend on the named package. -s, --sync Read package data from sync databases instead of local database. -u, --unique List dependent packages once. Implies --linear. SEE ALSO pacman(8), pacman.conf(5), makepkg(8) BUGS Bugs? You must be kidding; there are no bugs in this software.
