RPMGRAPH(8) RPMGRAPH(8)
NAME
rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph
SYNOPSIS
rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
rpmgraph uses PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package dependency
graph. Each PACKAGE_FILE argument is read and added to an rpm transac-
tion 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 di-
rected graph point to the parent of each node. The parent node is de-
fined 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 rp-
mgraph usage message for what is currently implemented.
