Man1 - trizen.1

trizen - a lightweight wrapper for AUR, written in Perl.

trizen <operation> [options] [targets]

-S, –sync

Synchronize packages. Packages are installed directly from the remote repositories or from the AUR, including all dependencies required to run the packages.

-C, –comments

Display AUR comments for a package.

-G, –get

Clone an AUR package in the current directory.

-R, –remove

Remove package(s) from the system. See: pacman -Rh

-Q, –query

Query the package database. See: pacman -Qh

-F, –files

Query the files database. See: pacman -Fh

-D, –database

Operate on the package database. See: pacman -Dh

-T, –deptest

Check dependencies. See: pacman -Th

-U, –upgrade

Install built packages from –clone-dir or `pwd`. See: pacman -Uh

-q, –quiet

Display minimal output.

-a, –aur

Perform only AUR operations.

-r, –regular

Perform only regular pacman operations (the opposite of –aur).

–stats

Display statistics for the installed packages.

–nocolors

Disable ANSI colors.

–forcecolors

Enable colors even when not writing to STDOUT.

–debug

Enable verbose mode.

-s, –search

Search for packages. By default, it includes packages from the pacman repos and from the AUR.

-i, –info

Display info for packages.

-m, –maintainer

Display the AUR packages maintained by a given username.

-p, –pkgbuild

Display the PKGBUILD of a given AUR package. For repo packages, it displays the download link.

-l, –local

Build and install packages from the current directory. This option is best used in combination with -G.

After a package is cloned in the current directory, the user can inspect or edit the build files, then -Sl <pkgname> will build and install the package, without pulling new changes from the AUR.

-u, –sysupgrade

Upgrades all packages that are out-of-date.

-y, –refresh

Refresh package databases.

-c, –clean

Clean the cache directories of pacman and trizen. Add -r to clean only pacman’s cache, or -a to clean only trizen’s cache.

–devel

Update VCS packages during -Su.

In combination with –needed, trizen will check if a package really needs to be updated (i.e. has a new commit). Currently, only git sources are supported.

–show-ood

Show out-of-date flagged packages during -Su.

–noinfo

Do not display package information after cloning.

–nopull

Do not `git pull` new changes from the AUR when the build files of a package already exist locally.

–noedit

Do not prompt to edit the build files of packages.

–nobuild

Do not build packages (implies –noedit). Assumes a built package already exists.

–noinstall

Do not install packages after building.

–noconfirm

Do not ask for any confirmation.

–needed

Do not reinstall up-to-date packages.

–asdeps

Install packages as dependencies (non-explicit).

–asexplicit

–skipinteg

Pass the –skipinteg argument to makepkg.

–movepkg

Move built packages in pacman’s cache directory.

–movepkg-dir=’…’

Move built packages into this directory (implies –movepkg).

–clone-dir=’…’

Directory where to clone and build packages.

–editor=’…’

Editor command used to edit the build files of AUR packages. The default editor is $VISUAL or $EDITOR (in this order).

–pager-mode

Display the build files of packages in pager mode.

–pager=’…’

Pager command used to display the build files of packages (with –pager-mode). The default pager is $PAGER.

–ignore=’…’

Space-separated list of packages to ignore during -Su.

-Qua

Display AUR updates only.

-Qma

Display foreign installed packages that do not exist in repos or in the AUR.

-d, –with-deps

Clone a package along with all its AUR dependencies that are not already installed.

Search and select packages to install, using the following syntax:

trizen [keywords]

By default, the results include both repo and AUR packages. Add –regular or –aur to search only for repo or AUR packages, respectively.

    trizen -S  <package>     # install <package>
    trizen -Ss <keyword>     # search for <keyword>
    trizen -Si <package>     # show info about <package>

    trizen -G  <package>     # clones <package>
    trizen -Gd <package>     # clones <package> along with its AUR dependencies

Configuration file: ~/.config/trizen/trizen.conf

Each configuration key can be used as a command-line argument, by preceding it with `/--` and (optionally) replacing underscores (`/_/`) with dashes (`-/`).

Example:

trizen –stats –packages-in-stats=50

The above command will display 50 packages in –stats.
