pacman-conf8
Query pacman's configuration file
Usage
pacman-conf [options]
[<directive> ...]
pacman-conf {(--repo-list | --help | --version)}
Overview
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.
