pactree - package dependency tree viewer

pactree [options] package

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.

-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

Read package data from sync databases instead of local database.

-u, –unique

List dependent packages once. Implies –linear.

-o, –optional[=DEPTH]

Additionally prints optional dependencies up to a certain depth, default 1 for immediate optional dependencies. When used in conjunction with -r it shows which packages it is optional for. In Graphviz mode, produce dotted lines. Negative values mean infinite depth.

–config <file>

Specify an alternate pacman configuration file.

–debug

Print log messages produced by libalpm.

–gpgdir <dir>

Specify an alternate GnuPG directory for verifying database signatures (default is /etc/pacman.d/gnupg).
