RPMGRAPH(1)                 General Commands Manual                RPMGRAPH(1)

NAME
       rpmgraph - Generate an RPM Package Dependency Graph

SYNOPSIS
       rpmgraph [options] PACKAGE_FILE ...

DESCRIPTION
       rpmgraph reads rpm packages passed as arguments, sorts them as for
       installation with rpm(8), and produces a dependency graph on the
       standard output.

       Nodes in the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the
       directed graph point to the parent of each node. The parent node is
       defined as the last predecessor of a package when partially ordered
       using the package dependencies as a relation. That means that the
       parent of a given package is the package's last prerequisite.

       The output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be displayed or
       printed using the dotty(1) graph editor from the Graphviz project.

ARGUMENTS
       PACKAGE_FILE
           Either an rpm package or an rpm-manifest(5) file.

OPTIONS
       See rpm-common(8) for the options common to all rpm commands.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, 0 is returned, a nonzero failure code otherwise.
