+.TH DPKG\-QUERY 8 "August 2001" "Debian Project" "dpkg suite"
|
|
|
+.SH NAME
|
|
|
+dpkg\-query \- a tool to query the dpkg database
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
+.B dpkg-query
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
+\fBdpkg-query\fP is a tool to show information about packages listed in
|
|
|
+the \fBdpkg\fP database.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH COMMANDS
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB-l\fP | \fB--list\fP \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP ...
|
|
|
+List packages matching given pattern. If no \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP
|
|
|
+is given, list all packages in \fI/var/lib/dpkg/available\fP. Normal
|
|
|
+shell wildchars are allowed in \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP. Please note
|
|
|
+you will probably have to quote \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP to prevent
|
|
|
+the shell from performing filename expansion. For example this will
|
|
|
+list all package names starting with \*(lqlibc5\*(rq:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.T
|
|
|
+.nf
|
|
|
+ \fBdpkg-query -l 'libc5*'\fP
|
|
|
+.fi
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB-W\fP | \fB--show\fP \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP ...
|
|
|
+Just like the \fB--list\fP option this will list all packages matching
|
|
|
+the given pattern. However the output can be customized using the
|
|
|
+\fB--showformat\fP option.
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB-s\fP | \fB--status\fP \fIpackage-name\fP ...
|
|
|
+Report status of specified package. This just displays the entry in
|
|
|
+the installed package status database.
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB-L\fP | \fB--listfiles\fP \fIpackage\fP ...
|
|
|
+List files installed to your system from \fBpackage\fP.
|
|
|
+However, note that files created by package-specific
|
|
|
+installation-scripts are not listed.
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB-S\fP | \fB--search\fP \fIfilename-search-pattern\fP ...
|
|
|
+Search for a filename from installed packages. All standard shell
|
|
|
+wildchars can be used in the pattern.

+\fB--admindir=\fIdir\fP
|
|
|
+Change the location of the \fBdpkg\fR database. The default location is
|
|
|
+\fI/var/lib/dpkg\fP.
|
|
|
+.TP
|
|
|
+\fB--showformat=\fP\fIformat\fR
|
|
|
+This option is used to specify the format of the output \fB--show\fP
|
|
|
+will produce. The format is a string that will be output for each package
|
|
|
+listed. It can include the standard escape sequences \en (newline), \er
|
|
|
+(carriage return) or \e\e (plain backslash). Package information can be
|
|
|
+included by inserting variable references to package fields using the
|
|
|
+${var[;width]} syntax. Fields are printed be right-aligned unless the
|
|
|
+width is negative in which case left aligenment will be used.
|
