xbps-0.42 (???):
* xbps-dgraph(8): added support to generate dependency graphs, repository
mode, prints results to stdout, supports most of the options available
in other utils, etc. This is now a first class utility.
* xbps-{install,query}: added new option (-M, --memory-sync) to fetch and
store remote repository data in memory. That means that synchronizing
the repository archives with `xbps-install -S` is now completely optional.

.Dt XBPS-DGRAPH 8
.Sh NAME
.Nm xbps-dgraph
.Nd XBPS utility to generate package dot(1) graphs
.Sh SYNOPSYS
.Nm xbps-dgraph
.Op OPTIONS
.Ar MODE
.Ar PKG
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility generates a
.Xr dot 1
graph of a specific package stored
in target root directory or in registered repositories and prints
the result to stdout.
The argument
.Ar PKG
is a package expression, which is explained in the
.Em PACKAGE EXPRESSION
section.
.Sh PACKAGE EXPRESSION
A package expression is a form to match a pattern; currently xbps
supports 3 ways to specify them:
.Bl -dash
.It
by package name, i.e:
.Dq Sy foo .
.It
by exact package name and version, i.e:
.Dq Sy foo-1.0_1 .
.It
by specifying a package name and version separated by any of the following version comparators:
.Pp
.Bl -item -compact
.It
.Sy <
less than
.It
.Sy >
greater than
.It
.Sy <=
less or equal than
.It
.Sy >=
greater or equal than
.Pp
Example:
.Dq Sy foo>=2.0 .
.El
.El
.Pp
The first repository matching the package expression wins.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width -x
.It Fl C, Fl -config Ar dir
Specifies a path to the XBPS configuration directory.
If the first character is not '\/' then it's a relative path of
.Ar rootdir .
.It Fl c, Fl -graph-config Ar file
Specifies a path to the graph configuration file, to modify the settings
of the generated graphs.
.It Fl d, Fl -debug
Enables extra debugging shown to stderr.
.It Fl h, Fl -help
Show the help usage.
.It Fl M, Fl -memory-sync
For remote repositories, the data is fetched and stored in memory for the current
operation. This ignores the existing on-disk repository archives in rootdir.
.It Fl R, Fl -repository
Enable repository mode. This mode explicitly looks in repositories, rather
than looking in the target root directory.
.It Fl r, Fl -rootdir Ar dir
Specifies a full path for the target root directory.
.It Fl V, Fl -version
Shows the XBPS version.
.El
.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, otherwise it will be
queried in registered repositories.
.Bl -tag -width -x
.It Fl g, Fl -gen-config
Generates a graph configuration file in the current working directory.
.It Fl f, Fl -fulldeptree
Generates a full dependency graph of the target package.
.It Fl m, Fl -metadata
Generates a metadata graph of the target package.
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width XBPS_TARGET_ARCH
.It Sy XBPS_ARCH
Overrides
.Xr uname 2
machine result with this value. Useful to install packages with a fake
architecture.
.It Sy XBPS_TARGET_ARCH
Sets the target architecture to this value. This variable differs from
.Sy XBPS_ARCH
in that it allows you to install packages partially, because
configuration phase is skipped (the target binaries might not be compatible with
the native architecture).
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /var/db/xbps/.<pkgname>-files.plist
.It Ar /etc/xbps.d
Default configuration directory.
.It Ar /var/db/xbps/.<pkgname>-files.plist
Package files metadata.
.It Ar /var/db/xbps/pkgdb-0.38.plist
Default package database (0.38 format). Keeps track of installed packages and properties.
.It Ar /var/cache/xbps
Default cache directory to store downloaded binary packages.
