NAME
pactree - package dependency tree viewer
SYNOPSIS
pactree [options] package
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.
-b, --dbpath
-
Specify an alternative database location.
-c, --color
-
Colorize output.
-d, --depth <num>
-
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.
-g, --graph
-
Generate a Graphviz description. If this option is given, the
--color
and
--linear
options are ignored.
-h, --help
-
Output syntax and command-line options.
-l, --linear
-
Prints package names at the start of each line, one per line.
-r, --reverse
-
Show packages that depend on the named package.
-s, --sync
