NAME
       pacman-conf - query pacman's configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       pacman-conf [options] [<directive> ...]

       pacman-conf (--repo-list|--help|--version)

DESCRIPTION
       pacman-conf is a utility for parsing the pacman configuration file and
       returning script-friendly output. It is designed to properly handle
       non-trivial configuration features such as variable interpolation and
       the use of the Include directive, and guarantees that it will return
       the same configuration values which pacman itself would use.

       pacman-conf will output the fully-resolved contents of the
       configuration file by default, or, if provided with the name of a
       configuration directive, output the contents of the given directive
       alone.

OPTIONS
       -c, --config <path>
	   Specify an alternate configuration file.

       -R, --rootdir <path>
	   Specify an alternate installation root (default is /).

       -r, --repo <repository>
	   Query options for a specific repository.

       -v, --verbose
	   Always shown directive names.

       -l, --repo-list
	   List configured repositories.

       -h, --help
	   Output syntax and command line options.

       -V, --version
	   Display version and exit.

EXAMPLES
       pacman-conf -r core Usage
	   Show the value of the Usage configuration option for core
	   repository.

       pacman-conf HoldPkg
	   Show the value of the HoldPkg configuration option.
