Transaction flags.

Enumerator

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NODEPS /

Ignore dependency checks.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NOSAVE /

Delete files even if they are tagged as backup.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NODEPVERSION /

Ignore version numbers when checking dependencies.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_CASCADE /

Remove also any packages depending on a package being removed.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_RECURSE /

Remove packages and their unneeded deps (not explicitly installed).

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_DBONLY /

Modify database but do not commit changes to the filesystem.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_ALLDEPS /

Use ALPM_PKG_REASON_DEPEND when installing packages.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_DOWNLOADONLY /

Only download packages and do not actually install.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NOSCRIPTLET /

Do not execute install scriptlets after installing.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NOCONFLICTS /

Ignore dependency conflicts.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_NEEDED /

Do not install a package if it is already installed and up to date.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_ALLEXPLICIT /

Use ALPM_PKG_REASON_EXPLICIT when installing packages.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_UNNEEDED /

Do not remove a package if it is needed by another one.

/ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_RECURSEALL /

Remove also explicitly installed unneeded deps (use with ALPM_TRANS_FLAG_RECURSE).

Do not lock the database during the operation.

Add a package to the transaction. If the package was loaded by *alpm_pkg_load()*/, it will be freed upon alpm_trans_release invocation. /
