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 <repository>
           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.
