ARCHPKGS2SOLV(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ARCHPKGS2SOLV(1) manual page. The star of the show is archpkgs2solv, and its whole thing is: convert one or more Arch package files into a solv file. periodt 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

archpkgs2solv [OPTIONS] PKG1.pkg.xz ...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The archpkgs2solv tool converts the meta data from one or more Arch Linux packages into the solv file written to standard output. no cap, that's the main character move. ✨

The options are giving:

• -m MANIFESTFILE — Read the rpm file names from the specified MANIFESTFILE. You can use - to read the manifest from standard input. yes bestie, that lone dash means standard input, iykyk 🫶
• -0 — Use a null byte as line terminator for manifest files instead of a newline. This is useful if the file names can contain newlines. See also the -print0 option in find. so if filenames are feral, this is the one 🍓

vibe check: -0 swaps the line terminator for a null byte, which matters when file names can contain newlines. and yes, the -print0 option in find is the cousin energy here. 💀
