pacman-conf - Man Page
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 <repository>
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.
