Package -information is maintained in a basic text format for easy -tweaking, if necessary, and packages are in a standard -\fIgzipped tar\fP format. -.SH OPERATIONS -.TP -.B "\-A, \-\-add" -Add a package to the system. Package will be uncompressed -into the installation root and the database will be updated. -.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. Note that most configuration files will be -be renamed with \fI.pacsave\fP extensions. -.TP -.B "\-U, \-\-upgrade" -Upgrade a package. This is essentially a "remove-then-install" -process. Most configuration files will be not be overwritten. -.TP -.B "\-Q, \-\-query" -Query the package database. This operation allows you to -view installed packages and their files. See \fBQUERY OPTIONS\fP -below. -.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 QUERY OPTIONS -.TP -.B "\-o, \-\-owns <file>" -Output the name of the package that owns <file>. -.TP -.B "\-l, \-\-list" -Instead of outputting the package name, output the list of -files owned by the package. -.TP -.B "\-i, \-\-info" -Output the .PKGINFO file contained in <package>. This option -can only be used with the \fB-p\fP option. -.TP -.B "\-p, \-\-file" -Tells pacman that the package supplied on the command line is a -file, not an entry in the database. Pacman will decompress the -file and query it. This is useful with \fB--info\fP and \fB--list\fP. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B "\-v, \-\-verbose" -Output more status and error messages. -.TP -.B "\-f, \-\-force" -Force installation, overwriting 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, preferably not at all. -.TP -.B "\-n, \-\-nosave" -Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. Normally, when -a file is about to be \fIremoved\fP from the system the database is first -checked to see if the file should be renamed to a .pacsave extension -(indicated by a '\fB*\fP' prefix in the pacman database). The \fB--nosave\fP -will turn off these file backups. Normally, when a file is about to be \fIadded\fP -or \fIupgraded\fP and a starred file already exists, pacman will write -the new file to a .pacnew extension and keep the old one in place. In this -case, \fB--nosave\fP instructs pacman to overwrite the existing file. -.TP -.B "\-r, \-\-root <path>" -Specify alternative installation root (default is "/"). This -should \fInot\fP be used as a way to install software into -e.g. /usr/local instead of /usr. Instead this should be 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 to use. -.SH AUTHOR -.nf -Judd Vinet <jvinet@zeroflux.org> -.fi |
