.Sh NAME
.Nm xbps-query
.Nd XBPS utility to query for package and repository information
.Sh SYNOPSYS
.Nm xbps-query
.Op OPTIONS
.Ar MODE
.Op PKG
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility prints information of a specific package or packages stored
in target root directory or in registered repositories.
Three different ways are valid for
.Ar PKG :
by specifying just the
package name (best available version from repositories will be installed);
by specifying a package pattern with '>' '<' '>=' or '<=' (foo>=2.0) or
by specifying an exact package version, i.e (foo-1.0_1).
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width -x
.It Fl C, Fl -config Ar file
Specifies a full path to the XBPS configuration file.
.It Fl c, Fl -cachedir Ar dir
Specifies a full path to the cache directory, where binary packages are stored.
.It Fl D, Fl -defrepo Ar uri
Default repository to be used if no repository is specified in configuration file.
.It Fl d, Fl -debug
Enables extra debugging shown to stderr.
.It Fl h, Fl -help
Show the help usage.
.It Fl R, Fl -repository
Enable repository mode. This mode explicitly looks in repositories, rather
than looking in the target root directory.
2012-11-06 15:35:27 +05:30
.It Fl r, Fl -rootdir Ar dir
Specifies a full path for the target root directory.
.It Fl v, Fl -verbose
Enables verbose messages.
.It Fl V, Fl -version
Shows the XBPS version.
.Sh MODE
Only one of the following modes can be used at a time.
By default and unless the
.Fl R
option is specified, the target
.Ar PKG
will be queried in the root directory, and if this fails, it will be
queried in registered repositories.
.Bl -tag -width -x
.It Fl l, Fl -list-pkgs
Lists registered packages in the package database (pkgdb).
.It Fl L, Fl -list-repos
Lists registered and working repositories.
.It Fl m, Fl -list-manual-pkgs
Lists registered packages in the package database (pkgdb) that were installed
manually by the user (i.e not as dependency of any package).
.It Fl M, Fl -list-orphans
Lists package orphans in the package database (pkgdb), i.e packages that
were installed as dependencies and no package is currently depending on them
directly.
.It Fl o, Fl -ownedby Ar PATTERN...
Search for packages owning the files specified by
.Ar PATTERN .
The
.Ar PATTERN
can be a shell wildcard pattern (see
.Xr fnmatch 3),
a simple string, or a
.Ar package pattern
(i.e package name separated by any of the following version comparators:
\'<' '>' '<=' '>=', 'foo>2.0').
Multiple patterns may be specified.
.It Fl s, Fl -search Ar PATTERN...
Search for packages matching
.Ar PATTERN
on its
.Em pkgver
and/or
.Em description
properties. The same rules explained in the
.Fl -ownedby
option are applied.
.It Fl f, Fl -files Ar PKG
Show the package files for
.Ar PKG .
.It Fl p, Fl -property Ar PROP[,...] Ar PKG
Show a property for
.Ar PKG .
Multiple properties can be specified by delimiting them with commas.
.It Fl x, Fl -deps Ar PKG
Show the required dependencies for
.Ar PKG .
.It Fl X, Fl -revdeps Ar PKG
Show the reverse dependencies for
.Ar PKG .
