Name
----
pactree - package dependency tree viewer


Synopsis
--------
'pactree' [options] package


Description
-----------
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.


Options
-------
*-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.
