DNF5-LIST(8)

💖 DNF5-LIST — the list command, bestie 💖

okay so this is dnf5-list, from the dnf5 manual family (that's the dnf5 manual name, section 8, we're fancy like that). It's the glow-up command that shows you packages. Let's get into it. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnf5 list [options] [<package-spec-NI>...]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It prints lists of packages based on the parameters you hand it. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 📋

If a terminal is available, the list of packages is colored — like, yes, colored, she serves looks. Packages available for reinstall are (by default) colored with bold green 💚 and packages available for upgrade with bold blue 💙. You can adjust this whole behavior in dnf5.conf(5) via the color_list_available_upgrade and color_list_available_reinstall options. Periodt.
