💅 dub-list(1) — the "who's even here" list command

okay bestie, so this is the dub-list page from the D Language Foundation's manual set. we're talking about the command that prints a list of all — or just some — of the local packages that dub knows about. it's giving inventory check. it's giving "let me see who's in the group chat." 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dub list [<package>[@<version-spec>]] OPTIONS...

that's it, that's the whole vibe. run it bare or hand it a package name and get to scrolling. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so dub list prints a list of all or selected local packages. and when I say all, I mean it literally ate:

  • every cached package, whether it's user or system wide 💖
  • every package sitting in the package search paths — those are the ones you add with dub add-path, iykyk
  • every package you manually registered with dub add-local 👑

and if you specify a package (and optionally a version spec too, because we love precision), then only the matching packages get shown. no cap, it filters for you. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

COMMON OPTIONS

  • See dub(1) — yeah this is the part where it points you at the main dub(1) page for the shared options. go read that one, bestie, it's got the goods. 📖

🫶 EXIT STATUS 🫶

  • 0 — DUB succeeded. slay. everything worked, you can go touch grass now. 🌈
  • 1 — usage errors, unknown command line flags. like, you typed something it doesn't recognize. it's giving "who said that." 💀
  • 2 — package not found, package failed to load, miscellaneous error. the package is literally not in the building. 😭

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • dub.sdl
  • dub.json

these are the two package description files in the mix, iconic duo, no notes. 🍓

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

dub-search(1) is the one you want when the thing you're looking for isn't local yet — think of it as the "expand your search radius" button. 🔍

quick vibe check: if your package isn't showing up, it might not be cached, not in your search paths, and not registered with dub add-local. those are the three doors it comes through, so check all three before you spiral. 🫶
