💅 apk-dot — generate graphviz graphs ✨

okay bestie so this is apk dot, and it lives in the System Manager's Manual (section 8, very official, very demure) 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

apk dot — generate graphviz graphs 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

apk dot [<options>...] [pkgmask...]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically apk dot renders package dependencies as graphviz graphs. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

the graph gets generated for the packages matching the masks you hand it — or, and hear me out, for every known package if you don't specify any masks. and like… no cap, that will generate a large and unwieldy graph 😭 like it's giving "i asked for a diagram and got the entire universe." consider yourself warned, bestie 🫶

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

in addition to the global options (see apk(8)), and the query options (see apk-query(8)), the following options are supported:

• --errors — consider only packages with errors. this one is lowkey iconic for visually reporting stuff like cyclic dependencies and missing packages 👑 like it's literally a "here's what's broken" highlight reel, iykyk ✨

---

💀 friendly reminder that a mask-less run means every known package — big graph, big chaos, no thoughts head empty. you've been warned fr fr 🙈
