NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-a --all

Check all packages. This is the default action in case no pkg-name has been specified.

-C --case-sensitive

See pkg-info(8).

-c --clean

Create clean output without status messages.

-d --dependencies

Also operate on the dependencies of the provided pkg-name.

-g --glob

See pkg-info(8).

-h --help

Displays the available options.

-i --case-insensitive

See pkg-info(8).

-j jobs --jobs jobs

Specify the amount of parallel jobs the script will attempt run. The default is number of detected cores plus one.

-m --no-filter

In this mode all the checks to detect false positives are turned off.

It also causes indirect dependencies to be listed as missing dependencies.

-n --no-compat

This deactivates detecting compatibility libraries.

-O --by-origin

See pkg-info(8).

-o --origin

Instead of the package name the package origin is printed.

-q --quiet

Only print the names of affected packages. Do not print any details. This option is meant for machine readability.

This option cannot be combined with verbose output.

-r --required-by

Also check packages that depend on the provided packages. This is a good idea when checking for the effects of a library update.

-v --verbose

Be verbose about missing dependencies. Instead of rejecting indirect dependencies print them.

This option cannot be combined with quiet output.

-x --regex

See pkg-info(8).

pkg-name

Packages are package names or shell glob patterns matching these. Whatever works with pkg-info(8) is an acceptable package.

EXAMPLES

pkg_libchk

To create plain output for everything connected to gtk.

pkg_libchk -q \*gtk\*

After upgrading a library, in this case icu, you can check all depending packages:

pkg_libchk -r icu

EXIT CODES

1

The script has terminated because it received SIGHUP, SIGINT or SIGTERM.

2

An unknown parameter has been supplied.

3

The incompatible parameters -v and -q have been supplied.

4

The parameter -j has been supplied without an acceptable number.
