alpm-srcinfo-create1

Create a srcinfo file from a pkgbuild file at a given path

Usage

alpm-srcinfo create [{-o | --output-format}] [{-p | --pretty}] [{-h | --help}] <FILE>

Overview

Create a SRCINFO file from a PKGBUILD file at a given path.

If the PKGBUILD can be created and validated, the program exits with no output and a return code of 0. If the file is missing or can not be validated, an error is emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit status.

Options

-o, --output-format <OUTPUT_FORMAT> [default: srcinfo]

Provide the output format

Possible values:

•

json: The JSON output format

•

srcinfo: The SRCINFO output format

-p, --pretty

Pretty-print the output.

Only applies to formats that support pretty output and is otherwise ignored.

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

<FILE>

An optional input file path to read from

If no file is specified, stdin is read from and expected to contain PKGINFO data to validate.
