-.SH NAME
-pacman \- package manager utility
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B pacman
-<\fIoperation\fR> [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIpackages\fR]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBpacman\fP is a \fIpackage management\fP utility that tracks installed
-packages on a Linux system. It features dependency support, package groups,
-install and uninstall hooks, and the ability to sync your local machine with a
-remote ftp server to automatically upgrade packages. \fBpacman\fP packages are
-a zipped tar format.
-
-Since version 3.0.0, \fBpacman\fP has been the frontend to \fBlibalpm\fP, the
-"Arch Linux Package Management" library. This library allows alternative front
-ends to be written (for instance, a GUI front end).
-
-.SH OPERATIONS
-.TP
-.B \-A, --add (deprecated)
-Add a package to the system. Either a URL or file path can be specified. The
-package will be uncompressed into the installation root and the database will
-be updated. The package will not be installed if another version is already
-installed. NOTE: please use \fB--upgrade\fP in place of this option.
-.TP
-.B \-F, --freshen
-This is like \fB--upgrade\fP except it will only upgrade packages already
-installed on the system.
-.TP
-.B \-Q, --query
-Query the package database. This operation allows you to view installed
-packages and their files, as well as meta-information about individual packages
-(dependencies, conflicts, install date, build date, size). This can be run
-against the local package database or can be used on individual .tar.gz
-packages. See \fBQUERY OPTIONS\fP below.
-.TP
-.B \-R, --remove
-Remove a package from the system. Files belonging to the specified package
-will be deleted, and the database will be updated. Most configuration files
-will be saved with a \fI.pacsave\fP extension unless the \fB--nosave\fP option
-is used. See \fBREMOVE OPTIONS\fP below.
-.TP
-.B \-S, --sync
-Synchronize packages. Packages are installed directly from the ftp servers,
-including all dependencies required to run the packages. For example,
-\fBpacman -S qt\fP will download and install \fBqt\fP and all the packages it
-depends on. You can also use \fBpacman -Su\fP to upgrade all packages that are
-out of date. See \fBSYNC OPTIONS\fP below.
-.TP
-.B \-U, --upgrade
-Upgrade or add a package to the system. Either a URL or file path can be
-specified. This is a "remove-then-add" process. See \fBHANDLING CONFIG
-FILES\fP for an explanation on how pacman takes care of config files.
-.TP
-.B \-V, --version
-Display version and exit.
-.TP
-.B \-h, --help
-Display syntax for the given operation. If no operation was supplied then the
-general syntax is shown.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \--ask \fInumber\fP
-Pre-specify answers to questions. It is doubtful whether this option even
-works, so I would not recommend using it. TODO: document this more, as I have
-no idea how it works or when you would use it, or if we should just dump it.
-.TP
-.B \-b, --dbpath \fIpath\fP
-Specify an alternative database location (default is "/var/lib/pacman/"). This
-should not be used unless you know what you are doing.
-.TP
-.B \-d, --nodeps
-Skips all dependency checks. Normally, pacman will always check a package's
-dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are installed and there are
-no package conflicts in the system.
-.TP
-.B \-f, --force
-Bypass file conflict checks and overwrite conflicting files. If the package
-that is about to be installed contains files that are already installed, this
-option will cause all those files to be overwritten.  This option should be
-used with care, ideally not at all.
-.TP
-.B \-r, --root \fIpath\fP
-Specify an alternative installation root (default is "/"). This should
-\fInot\fP be used as a way to install software into /usr/local instead of /usr.
-This option is used if you want to install a package on a temporary mounted
-partition which is "owned" by another system. By using this option you not only
-specify where the software should be installed, but you also specify which
-package database and cache location to use.
-.TP
-.B \-v, --verbose
-Output more status messages, such as the Root and DBPath.
-.TP
-.B \--cachedir \fIdir\fP
-Specify an alternative package cache location (default is
-"/var/cache/pacman/pkg/"). This should not be used unless you know what you are
-doing.
-.TP
-.B \--config \fIfilepath\fP
-Specify an alternate configuration file.
-.TP
-.B \--noconfirm
-Bypass any and all "Are you sure?" messages. It's not a good idea to do this
-unless you want to run pacman from a script.
-.TP
-.B \--noprogressbar
-Do not show a progress bar when downloading files. This can be useful for
-scripts that call pacman and capture the output.
-.TP
-.B \--noscriptlet
-If an install scriptlet exists, do not execute it. Do not use this unless you
-know what you are doing.
-
-.SH QUERY OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-c, --changelog
-View the ChangeLog of a package. Not every package will provide one but it
-will be shown if available.
-.TP
-.B \-e, --orphans
-List all packages that were pulled in by a previously installed package but no
-longer required by any installed package.
-.TP
-.B \-g, --groups
-Display all packages that are members of a named group. If not name is
-specified, list all grouped packages.
-.TP
-.B \-i, --info
-Display information on a given package. The \fB-p\fP option can be used if
-querying a package file instead of the local database.
-.TP
-.B \-l, --list
-List all files owned by a given package. Multiple packages can be specified on
-the command line.
-.TP
-.B \-m, --foreign
-List all packages that were not found in the sync database(s). Typically these
-are packages that were downloaded manually and installed with \fB--upgrade\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-o, --owns \fIfile\fP
-Search for the package that owns \fIfile\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-p, --file
-Signifies that the package supplied on the command line is a file and not an
-entry in the database. The file will be decompressed and queried. This is
-useful in combination with \fB--info\fP and \fB--list\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-s, --search \fIregexp\fP
-This will search each locally-installed package for names or descriptions that
-matche \fIregexp\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-u, --upgrades
-Lists all packages that are out of date on the local system. This option works
-best if the sync database is refreshed using \fB-Sy\fP.
-
-.SH REMOVE OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-c, --cascade
-Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on one or more
-target packages. This operation is recursive.
-.TP
-.B \-k, --keep
-Removes the database entry only. Leaves all files in place.
-.TP
-.B \-n, --nosave
-Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations.  Normally, when a file is
-removed from the system the database is checked to see if the file should be
-renamed with a .pacsave extension.
-.TP
-.B \-s, --recursive
-Remove each target specified including all dependencies, provided that (A) they
-are not required by other packages; and (B) they were not explicitly installed
-by the user.  This option is analogous to a backwards \fB--sync\fP operation.
-
-.SH SYNC OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-c, --clean
-Remove old packages from the cache to free up disk space. When \fBpacman\fP
-downloads packages, it saves them in \fI/var/cache/pacman/pkg\fP. Use one
-\fB--clean\fP switch to remove \fIold\fP packages; use two to remove \fIall\fP
-packages from the cache.
-.TP
-.B \-e, --dependsonly
-Install all dependencies of a package, but not the specified package itself.
-This is pretty useless and we're not sure why it even exists.
-.TP
-.B \-g, --groups
-Display all the members for each package group specified. If no group names
-are provided, all groups will be listed; pass the flag twice to view all
-groups and their members.
-.TP
-.B \-i, --info
-Display dependency and other information for a given package. This will search
-through all repositories for a matching package.
-.TP
-.B \-l, --list
-List all packages in the specified repositories. Multiple repositories can be
-specified on the command line.
-.TP
-.B \-p, --print-uris
-Print out URIs for each package that will be installed, including any
-dependencies yet to be installed. These can be piped to a file and downloaded
-at a later time, using a program like wget.
-.TP
-.B \-s, --search \fIregexp\fP
-This will search each package in the sync databases for names or descriptions
-that match \fIregexp\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-u, --sysupgrade
-Upgrades all packages that are out of date. Each currently-installed package
-will be examined and upgraded if a newer package exists. A report of all
-packages to upgrade will be presented and the operation will not proceed
-without user confirmation. Dependencies are automatically resolved at this
-level and will be installed/upgraded if necessary.
-.TP
-.B \-w, --downloadonly
-Retrieve all packages from the server, but do not install/upgrade anything.
-.TP
-.B \-y, --refresh
-Download a fresh copy of the master package list from the server(s) defined in
-\fBpacman.conf\fP. This should typically be used each time you use
-\fB--sysupgrade\fP or \fB-u\fP. Passing two \fB--refresh\fP or \fB-y\fP flags
-will force a refresh of all package lists even if they are thought to be
-up to date.
-.TP
-.B \--ignore \fIpackage\fP
-Directs \fBpacman\fP to ignore upgrades of \fIpackage\fP even if there is one
-available.
-
-.SH HANDLING CONFIG FILES
-pacman uses the same logic as rpm to determine action against files that are
-designated to be backed up. During an upgrade, 3 md5 hashes are used for each
-backup file to determine the required action: one for the original file
-installed, one for the new file that's about to be installed, and one for the
-actual file existing on the filesystem. After comparing these 3 hashes, the
-follow scenarios can result:
-.TP
-original=\fBX\fP, current=\fBX\fP, new=\fBX\fP
-All three files are the same, so overwrites are not an issue Install the new
-file.
-.TP
-original=\fBX\fP, current=\fBX\fP, new=\fBY\fP
-The current file is the same as the original but the new one differs.  Since
-the user did not ever modify the file, and the new one may contain improvements
-or bugfixes, install the new file.
-.TP
-original=\fBX\fP, current=\fBY\fP, new=\fBX\fP
-Both package versions contain the exact same file, but the one on the
-filesystem has been modified. Leave the current file in place.
-.TP
-original=\fBX\fP, current=\fBY\fP, new=\fBY\fP
-The new file is identical to the current file. Install the new file.
-.TP
-original=\fBX\fP, current=\fBY\fP, new=\fBZ\fP
-All three files are different, so install the new file with a .pacnew extension
-and warn the user. The user must then manually merge any necessary changes into
-the original file.
