pacman-conf(8) ============== Name ---- pacman-conf - 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* <remote>:: 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.
