PACLIST(8)

📦 version 1.13.1, in arch rolling

💅 paclist — the manual page, but make it make sense (paclist(8))

okay bestie, buckle up, because paclist is one of those tiny little tools that does exactly one thing and does it immaculately. no notes. she's section 8, she's from pacman-contrib, she's an icon.

✨ NAME ✨

paclist — lists every single package you installed from a given repository. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

paclist <repository ...>

yep. you just hand her one or more repository names and she goes to work. multiple repos? she eats them for breakfast. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: paclist lists all the packages installed on your system that came from a given repository. like, all of them. sorted by where they came from, not by vibes.

why would you care? okay so imagine you've been living your life, and you're like "hmm, did I lowkey install a bunch of stuff from the testing repos and forget about it?" — yeah. that's literally the use case. it's giving receipts. it's giving accountability. 🫶

Example: paclist core-testing

run that and she'll show you everything you've got from core-testing. slay.

🧚 OPTIONS 🧚

  • -h, --help — shows you the syntax and all the command-line options. the classic "wait what were the flags again" button. we've all been there bestie 💀
  • -V, --version — prints the version info. for when you gotta know exactly which girl you're working with. 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

  • pacman(8) — the main character, the mother, the whole reason any of this works. go say hi. 🌈

😭 BUGS 😭

bugs? bugs?? you must be kidding; there are no bugs in this software. she is perfect. flawless. built different. 💅

but okay — if we happen to be wrong (hypothetically, theoretically, allegedly), file an issue with as much detail as you possibly can at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman-contrib/-/issues/new. details people! give them the details! 🙈
