opam-list - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

opam-list - Display the list of available packages.

SYNOPSIS

opam list [OPTION]... [PATTERNS]...

DESCRIPTION

This command displays the list of installed packages when called without argument, or the
list of available packages matching the given pattern.

Unless the --short switch is used, the output format displays one package per line, and
each line contains the name of the package, the installed version or -- if the package is
not installed, and a short description. In color mode, root packages (eg. manually
installed) are underlined.

The full description can be obtained by doing opam show <package>. You can search through
the package descriptions using the opam search command.

ARGUMENTS

PATTERNS
List of package patterns.

OPTIONS

-A, --unavailable
List all packages, even those which can't be installed on the system

-a, --all
List all the packages which can be installed on the system. This is the default when a
query argument is supplied.

--depends-on=PACKAGES
List only packages that depend on one of (comma-separated) PACKAGES.

--depopts
Include optional dependencies in dependency requests.

-e [TAGS], --external[=TAGS] (default=)
Instead of displaying the packages, display their external dependencies that are
associated with any subset of the given TAGS (OS, distribution, etc.). Common tags
include `debian', `x86', `osx', `homebrew', `source'... Without TAGS, display the tags
and all associated external dependencies. Rather than using this directly, you should
probably head for the `depext' plugin, that can infer your system's tags and handle
the system installations. Run `opam depext'.

-i, --installed
List installed packages only. This is the the default when no argument is supplied.
With `--resolve', means "compute a solution from the currently installed packages"
instead.

--installed-roots
Display only the installed roots.

--recursive
With `--depends-on' and `--required-by', display all transitive dependencies rather
than just direct dependencies.

--required-by=PACKAGES
List only the dependencies of (comma-separated) PACKAGES.

--resolve=PACKAGES
Restrict to a solution to install (comma-separated) PACKAGES, i.e. a consistent set of
packages including those. This is subtly different from `--required-by --recursive`,
which is more predictable and can't fail, but lists all dependencies independently
without ensuring consistency. Without `--installed`, the answer is self-contained and
independent of the current installation. With `--installed', it's computed from the
set of currently installed packages. `--unavailable` further makes the solution
independent from the currently pinned packages, architecture, and compiler version.
The combination with `--depopts' is not supported.

-s, --short
Output raw lists of names, one per line, skipping any details.

-S, --sort
Sort the packages in dependency order.

COMMON OPTIONS

These options are common to all commands.

--color=WHEN (absent=auto)
Colorize the output. WHEN must be one of `always', `never' or `auto'.

--criteria=CRITERIA
Specify user preferences for dependency solving for this run. Overrides both
$OPAMCRITERIA and $OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA. For details on the supported language, and the
external solvers available, see
http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Specifying_Solver_Preferences.html. A general guide to using
solver preferences can be found at http://www.dicosmo.org/Articles/usercriteria.pdf.
The default value is
-count(down),-count(removed),-notuptodate(solution),-sum(solution,version-lag),-count(new)
for upgrades, and
-count(removed),-notuptodate(request),-sum(request,version-lag),-count(down),-notuptodate(changed),-count(changed),-notuptodate(solution),-sum(solution,version-lag)
otherwise.

--cudf=FILENAME
Debug option: Save the CUDF requests sent to the solver to FILENAME-<n>.cudf.

--debug
Print debug message to stderr. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMDEBUG to "true".

--debug-level=LEVEL
Like `--debug', but allows specifying the debug level (`--debug' sets it to 1).
Equivalent to setting $OPAMDEBUG to a positive integer.

--git-version
Print the git version if it exists and exit.

--help[=FMT] (default=pager)
Show this help in format FMT (pager, plain or groff).

--no-base-packages
Do not install base packages (useful for testing purposes). This is equivalent to
setting $OPAMNOBASEPACKAGES to a non-empty string.

--no-self-upgrade
OPAM will replace itself with a newer binary found at OPAMROOT/opam if present. This
disables this behaviour.

-q, --quiet
Be quiet when installing a new compiler.

--root=ROOT (absent=~/.opam)
Use ROOT as the current root path. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMROOT to ROOT.

--safe
Make sure nothing will be automatically updated or rewritten. Useful for calling from
completion scripts, for example. Will fail whenever such an operation is needed ; also
avoids waiting for locks, skips interactive questions and overrides the OPAMDEBUG
variable.

--solver=CMD
Specify the name of the external dependency solver. The default value is aspcud.
Either 'aspcud', 'packup' or a custom command that may contain the variables
%{input}%, %{output}% and %{criteria}%

--strict
Fail whenever an error is found in a package definition or a configuration file. The
default is to continue silently if possible.

--switch=SWITCH
Use SWITCH as the current compiler switch. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMSWITCH
to SWITCH.

--use-internal-solver, --no-aspcud
Force use of internal heuristics, even if an external solver is available.

-v, --verbose
Be more verbose, show package sub-commands and their output. Repeat to see more.
Repeating n times is equivalent to setting $OPAMVERBOSE to "n".

--version
Show version information.

-y, --yes
Disable interactive mode and answer yes to all questions that would otherwise be asked
to the user. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMYES to "true".

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

OPAM makes use of the environment variables listed here. Boolean variables should be set
to "0", "no" of "false" to disable, "1", "yes" or "true" to enable.

OPAMCOLOR, when set to always or never, sets a default value for the --color option.

OPAMCRITERIA specifies user preferences for dependency solving.The default value is
-count(removed),-notuptodate(request),-sum(request,version-lag),-count(down),-notuptodate(changed),-count(changed),-notuptodate(solution),-sum(solution,version-lag).
See also option --criteria

OPAMCURL can be used to select a given 'curl' program. See OPAMFETCH for more options.

OPAMDEBUG see options `--debug' and `--debug-level'.

OPAMDOWNLOADJOBS sets the maximum number of simultaneous downloads.

OPAMEXTERNALSOLVER see option `--solver'.

OPAMFETCH specifies how to download files: either `wget', `curl' or a custom command where
variables %{url}%, %{out}%, %{retries}%, %{compress}% and %{checksum}% will be replaced.
Overrides the 'download-command' value from the main config file.

OPAMJOBS sets the maximum number of parallel workers to run.

OPAMLOCKRETRIES sets the number of tries after which OPAM gives up acquiring its lock and
fails. <= 0 means infinite wait.

OPAMNO answer no to any question asked.

OPAMNOASPCUD see option `--no-aspcud'.

OPAMNOSELFUPGRADE see option `--no-self-upgrade'.

OPAMPINKINDAUTO if set, version control systems are detected when pinning to a local path.

OPAMREQUIRECHECKSUMS see option `--require-checksums'.

OPAMRETRY sets the number of tries before failing downloads.

OPAMROOT see option `--root'. This is automatically set by `opam config env --root=DIR'
when DIR is non-default or OPAMROOT is already defined.

OPAMSAFE see option `--safe'

OPAMSKIPVERSIONCHECKS bypasses some version checks. Unsafe, for compatibility testing
only.

OPAMSOLVERTIMEOUT change the time allowance of the internal solver.

OPAMSTATUSLINE display a dynamic status line showing what's currently going on on the
terminal. (one of one of `always', `never' or `auto')

OPAMSWITCH see option `--switch'. Automatically set by `opam config env --switch=SWITCH'.

OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA specifies user preferences for dependency solving when performing an
upgrade. Overrides OPAMCRITERIA in upgrades if both are set.The default value is
-count(down),-count(removed),-notuptodate(solution),-sum(solution,version-lag),-count(new).
See also option --criteria

OPAMUSEINTERNALSOLVER see option `--use-internal-solver'.

OPAMUTF8 use UTF8 characters in output (one of one of `always', `never' or `auto'). By
default `auto', which is determined from the locale).

OPAMUTF8MSGS use extended UTF8 characters (camels) in OPAM messages. Implies OPAMUTF8.
This is set by default on OSX only.

OPAMVAR_var overrides the contents of the variable var when substituting `%{var}%` strings
in `opam` files.

OPAMVAR_package_var overrides the contents of the variable package:var when substituting
`%{package:var}%` strings in `opam` files.

OPAMVERBOSE see option `--verbose'.

OPAMYES see option `--yes'.
