NAME
       reflector - retrieve and filter the latest Pacman mirrorlist

SYNOPSIS
       reflector [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
       reflector is a Python script and associated Python module that can
       retrieve up-to-date Arch Linux mirror data from the Mirror Status
       (https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/) web interface.

ARGUMENTS
       See reflector --help.

EXAMPLES
       Print the latest mirrorlist to STDOUT:


              reflector


       Sort the five most recently synchronized mirrors by download speed and
       overwrite the local mirrorlist:


              reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist


       Select the 200 most recently synchronized HTTP or HTTPS mirrors, sort
       them by download speed, and overwrite the file
       /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:


              reflector --latest 200 --protocol http,https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist


       Select the HTTPS mirrors synchronized within the last 12 hours and
       located in either France or Germany, sort them by download speed, and
       overwrite the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with the results:


              reflector --country France,Germany --age 12 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist


SYSTEMD INTEGRATION
       Reflector includes systemd service and timer units that can be used to
       automatically update Pacman's mirrorlist.  To use the timer, edit the
       configuration file at /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf and then enable
       the timer with


              systemctl enable reflector.timer
              systemctl start reflector.timer


       Check that status with systemctl list-timers.  To update the mirrorlist
       immediately instead of waiting for the scheduled operation, run
       systemctl start reflector.service.
