RPMGRAPH(8)                System Manager's Manual               RPMGRAPH(8)

NAME top

       rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph

SYNOPSIS top

       rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...

DESCRIPTION top

       rpmgraph uses PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package dependency
       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 ordered 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 prerequisite.

       The output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be displayed
       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.
