NAME
rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph
SYNOPSIS
rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
rpmgraph uses PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package depen‐
dency graph. Each PACKAGE_FILE argument is read and added to an
rpm transaction set. The elements of the transaction set are
partially ordered using a topological sort. The partially or‐
dered elements are then printed to standard output.
Nodes in the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the
directed graph point to the parent of each node. The parent node
is defined as the last predecessor of a package when partially
ordered using the package dependencies as a relation. That means
that the parent of a given package is the package's last prereq‐
uisite.
The output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be dis‐
played or printed using the dotty graph editor from the graphviz
package. There are no rpmgraph specific options, only common rpm
options. See the rpmgraph usage message for what is currently
implemented.
