PACTREE(8)                       Pacman Manual                      PACTREE(8)

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.
