Overview
Format a SRCINFO file's packages from a path or `stdin`
Read, validate and print all of the SRCINFO's packages in their final representation for a specific architecture. If the file is valid, the program prints the data in the requested file format to stdout and returns with an exit status of 0.
Options
-
-s, --schema <VERSION> -
Provide the SRCINFO schema version to use.
If no schema version is provided, it will be deduced from the file itself.
-
-a, --architecture <ARCHITECTURE> -
The selected architecture that should be used to interpret the SRCINFO file.
Only [split-]packages that are applicable for this architecture will be returned.
-o,--output-format<OUTPUT_FORMAT> [default: json]-
Provide the output format
Possible values:
- •
-
json: The JSON 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.
