bst show [Options] [ELEMENTS]...

Show elements in the pipeline

By default this will show all of the dependencies of the specified target element.

Specify `--deps` to control which elements to show:

   none:  No dependencies, just the element itself
   plan:  Dependencies required for a build plan
   run:   Runtime dependencies, including the element itself
   build: Build time dependencies, excluding the element itself
   all:   All dependencies

FORMAT ~~~~~~ The --format option controls what should be printed for each element, the following symbols can be used in the format string:

   %{name}           The element name
   %{key}            The abbreviated cache key (if all sources are consistent)
   %{full-key}       The full cache key (if all sources are consistent)
   %{state}          cached, buildable, waiting or inconsistent
   %{config}         The element configuration
   %{vars}           Variable configuration
   %{env}            Environment settings
   %{public}         Public domain data
   %{workspaced}     If the element is workspaced
   %{workspace-dirs} A list of workspace directories

The value of the %{symbol} without the leading '%' character is understood as a pythonic formatting string, so python formatting features apply, examle:

   bst show target.bst --format         'Name: %{name: ^20} Key: %{key: ^8} State: %{state}'

If you want to use a newline in a format string in bash, use the '$' modifier:

   bst show target.bst --format         $'---------- %{name} ----------0{vars}'

--except PATH

Except certain dependencies

-d, --deps [none|plan|run|build|all]

The dependencies to show (default: all)

--order [stage|alpha]

Staging or alphabetic ordering of dependencies

-f, --format FORMAT

Format string for each element
