The database is expected to be in +the same directory as the packages (or symlinks to the packages). + +The following properties are verified for each package in the database: + + - existence of the package file + - file size + - MD5 and SHA256 checksum (--checksum) + +Options +------- +*-h, \--help*:: + Output a short help message. + +*\--debug*:: + Enable debug output. + +*-c, \--checksum*:: + Verify checksums of packages. Note that this means all packages files will + be read from disk. Otherwise only metadata is compared which does not + require to read package file contents. + +*-t, \--threads* <number>:: + Use 'number' threads to verify packages. Note that each thread may use up + to approximately 128MiB of memory. Default: 1 + +Notes +----- + +This script does intentionally not use any ALPM libraries. The format is simple +enough to be parsed and this way we might just detect more problems because the +libalpm parsing code might also have bugs. We also stay much more portable +which might be good for people that want to check a db, but don't actually have +pacman installed. + + +See Also +-------- +linkman:repo-add[8] + +include::footer.txt[] |
