Inspect package dependencies

Synopsis

The inspect subcommand provides an entry point for displaying information that can be gathered by examining the configuration file, the associated package database, and the library. The current focus is on inspecting package dependencies (triggered by passing --deps).

Note: If the configuration file has 'Suggests: true', that does not affect the set of dependencies listed for any particular package. Instead the set of suggested packages is included in the top-level package set.

pkgr inspect --deps [flags] [<package>...]

Examples 

  # Show all dependencies as a tree
  pkgr --loglevel=fatal inspect --deps --tree
  # Show dependency tree, restricting roots to the named packages
  pkgr --loglevel=fatal inspect --deps --tree processx here

  # Output a JSON record where each item maps a package to its direct
  # and indirect dependencies
  pkgr --loglevel=fatal inspect --deps
  # Do the same, but filter to records for the named packages
  pkgr --loglevel=fatal inspect --deps processx here

  # Output a JSON record where each item maps a package to
  # the packages that have it as a dependency
  pkgr --loglevel=fatal inspect --deps --reverse

Flags

  • --deps: show dependency tree

  • -h, --help: help for inspect

  • --json: suppress non-fatal logging (note: prefer --loglevel=fatal to this flag)

  • --reverse: show reverse dependencies

  • --tree: show full recursive dependency tree

Inherited
