PACMAN-CONF

NAME

pacman-conf - query pacman's configuration file

SYNOPSIS

pacman-conf [options] [<directive> ...]

pacman-conf (--repo-list|--help|--version)

DESCRIPTION

pacman-conf is a utility for parsing the pacman configuration file and returning script-friendly output. It is designed to properly handle non-trivial configuration features such as variable interpolation and the use of the Include directive, and guarantees that it will return the same configuration values which pacman itself would use.

pacman-conf will output the fully-resolved contents of the configuration file by default, or, if provided with the name of a configuration directive, output the contents of the given directive alone.

OPTIONS

-c, --config <path>

Specify an alternate configuration file.

-R, --rootdir <path>

Specify an alternate installation root (default is /).

-r, --repo <remote>

Query options for a specific repository.

-v, --verbose

Always shown directive names.

-l, --repo-list

List configured repositories.

-h, --help

Output syntax and command line options.

-V, --version

Display version and exit.

EXAMPLES

pacman-conf -r core Usage

Show the value of the Usage configuration option for core repository.

pacman-conf HoldPkg

Show the value of the HoldPkg configuration option.
