pacman-conf [options] [<directive> ...]

pacman-conf (--repo-list|--help|--version)

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.

-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.
