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.
−−config <file>
Specify an alternate pacman configuration file.
