WHODEPENDS(1)

✨ whodepends — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to WHODEPENDS(1), living in the General Commands Manual section, straight outta the Debian Utilities corner of the universe 🫶 this is the whole thing, no skips, no skimming, we're doing it properly.

🌸 NAME 🌸

whodepends — check which maintainers' packages depend on a package 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

whodepends [package] [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. package first if you want it, options wherever they fit 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, and honestly it's giving detective energy 🔍

whodepends hands you the names, the e-mail addresses, and the packages they maintain of all the maintainers who have packages depending on the package you gave it.

like… you name a package, and it goes "okay queen, here's literally everyone whose stuff leans on this one" and lists them out with receipts. no cap, it's just the maintainer roll call 📋✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --help, -h — shows a brief usage message. short, sweet, tells you how to use it 🎀
• --version, -v — shows version and copyright information. the classic "who am i and who owns me" moment 💅

💀 BUGS 💀

whodepends is not very efficient. 😭

that's not me being shady, that's canon. it's slow. it's doing its best. it's still slaying in spirit, it's just… not winning any races fr fr 🐌
