✨ CHECK-ENHANCEMENTS(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this one's from the Debian-goodies documentation set and it's literally just a lil tool that shows you enhancement packages 🎀 like, that's the whole vibe, and we're gonna go through it together, no cap 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

check-enhancements — show enhancement packages 🦋

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

check-enhancements ( -ip | -ie | -h | --verbose | --version )

like, pick one of those, bestie, you can't do all of them at once, that's the whole point of the parentheses okay 😭

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so first things first, the rules of engagement:

Program options start with a dash or a double dash — otherwise, girl, they're interpreted as package names. That's it, that's the vibe check. 📦

And by default, only the non-installed</> enhancement packages get printed out. Want all of them? Use -ie to show them all. periodt. 💅

  • -ip, --ip, -installed-packages, --installed-packages — Show enhancements of all installed packages. ⚠️ fair warning bestie, this could be slow, we're talking "go make a snack" slow, so don't come for me 🙈
  • -ie, --ie, -installed-enhancements, --installed-enhancements — Show installed enhancement packages too. 🫶 the "give me everything" button
  • -h, -help, --help — (the page doesn't spell this one out, it just sits there being iconic and mysterious, and I'm not gonna make stuff up about it, iykyk 👑)
  • -version, --version — same deal, no description given, it's giving "you already know" energy 💀
  • -verbose, --verbose — also just vibing there with no explanation, so, yep, that's the tea 🍓
ngl, three of these options show up with zero description on the original page. I'm keeping every single one of them exactly as-is because that's the rule — every flag, no skipping, no inventing, fr fr. 🌈

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

check enhancement packages of all installed packages — the "scan the whole kingdom" move 👑

check-enhancements -ip

check enhancement packages of selected packages — the "I only care about these specific girls" move ✨

check-enhancements pkg1 pkgN

see how pkg1 and pkgN aren't dash-anything? that's the package-name rule in action, main character energy 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it up 💜

check-enhancements 0.3 — from December 2025 — and that's a wrap, go forth and find those enhancements, mwah 🫶💖
