6 opam-switch - Manage multiple installation prefixes.
7
9 opam switch [OPTION]… [COMMAND] [ARG]…
10
12 This command is used to manage "switches", which are independent
13 installation prefixes with their own compiler and sets of installed and
14 pinned packages. This is typically useful to have different versions of
15 the compiler available at once.
16 Use opam switch create to create a new switch, and opam switch set to
18 set the currently active switch. Without argument, lists installed
19 switches, with one switch argument, defaults to set.
20 Switch handles SWITCH can be either a plain name, for switches that
22 will be held inside ~/.opam, or a directory name, which in that case is
23 the directory where the switch prefix will be installed, as _opam. Opam
24 will automatically select a switch by that name found in the current
25 directory or its parents, unless OPAMSWITCH is set or --switch is
26 specified. When creating a directory switch, if package definitions are
27 found locally, the user is automatically prompted to install them after
28 the switch is created unless --no-install is specified.
29 opam switch set sets the default switch globally, but it is also
31 possible to select a switch in a given shell session, using the
32 environment. For that, use eval $(opam env --switch=SWITCH
33 --set-switch).
34
36 Without argument, defaults to list.
37 SWITCH
39 With a SWITCH argument, defaults to set SWITCH.
40 create SWITCH [COMPILER]
42 Create a new switch, and install the given compiler there. SWITCH
43 can be a plain name, or a directory, absolute or relative, in which
44 case a local switch is created below the given directory. COMPILER,
45 if omitted, defaults to SWITCH if it is a plain name, unless
46 --packages, --formula or --empty is specified. When creating a
47 local switch, and none of these options are present, the compiler
48 is chosen according to the configuration default (see
49 opam-init(1)). If the chosen directory contains package
50 definitions, a compatible compiler is searched within the default
51 selection, and the packages will automatically get installed.
52 set SWITCH
54 Set the currently active switch, among the installed switches.
55 remove SWITCH
57 Remove the given switch from disk.
58 export FILE
60 Save the current switch state to a file. If --full is specified, it
61 includes the metadata of all installed packages, and if --freeze is
62 specified, it freezes all vcs to their current commit.
63 import FILE
65 Import a saved switch state. If --switch is specified and doesn't
66 point to an existing switch, the switch will be created for the
67 import.
68 reinstall [SWITCH]
70 Reinstall the given compiler switch and all its packages.
71 list
73 Lists installed switches.
74 list-available [PATTERN]
76 Lists all the possible packages that are advised for installation
77 when creating a new switch, i.e. packages with the compiler flag
78 set. If no pattern is supplied, all versions are shown.
79 show
81 Prints the name of the current switch.
82 invariant
84 Prints the active switch invariant.
85 set-invariant PACKAGES
87 Updates the switch invariant, that is, the formula that the switch
88 must keep verifying throughout all operations. The previous setting
89 is overriden. See also options --force and --no-action. Without
90 arguments, an invariant is chosen automatically.
91 set-description STRING
93 Sets the description for the selected switch.
94 link SWITCH [DIR]
96 Sets a local alias for a given switch, so that the switch gets
97 automatically selected whenever in that directory or a descendant.
98 install SWITCH
100 Removed in 2.1, use create instead.
101 set-base PACKAGES
103 Removed in 2.1, use set-invariant instead.
104
106 opam switch create 4.08.0
107 Create a new switch called "4.08.0" and select it, with a compiler
109 automatically selected at version 4.08.0 (note that this can fail in
110 case there is more than one compiler matching that version).
111 opam switch create ./ --deps-only
113 Prepare a local switch for building the packages defined in ./. This
115 scans the current directory for package definitions, chooses a
116 compatible compiler, creates a local switch and installs the local
117 package dependencies.
118 opam switch create trunk --repos default,beta=git+https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-beta-repository.git ocaml-variants.4.10.0+trunk
120 Create a new switch called "trunk", with ocaml-variants.4.10.0+trunk as
122 compiler, with a new beta repository bound to the given URL selected
123 besides the default one.
124
126 -A COMP, --alias-of=COMP
127 Removed in 2.1.
128 --deps-only
130 When creating a local switch in a project directory (i.e. a
131 directory containing opam package definitions), install the
132 dependencies of the project but not the project itself.
133 --description=STRING
135 Attach the given description to a switch when creating it. Use the
136 set-description subcommand to modify the description of an existing
137 switch.
138 --empty
140 Allow creating an empty switch, with no invariant.
141 --force
143 Only for set-invariant: force setting the invariant, bypassing
144 consistency checks.
145 --formula=FORMULA
147 Allows specifying a complete "dependency formula", possibly
148 including disjunction cases, as the switch invariant.
149 --freeze
151 When exporting, locks all VCS urls to their current commit, failing
152 if it can not be retrieved. This ensures that an import will
153 restore the exact state. Implies --full.
154 --full
156 When exporting, include the metadata of all installed packages,
157 allowing to re-import even if they don't exist in the repositories
158 (the default is to include only the metadata of pinned packages).
159 -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS
161 Set the maximal number of concurrent jobs to use. The default value
162 is calculated from the number of cores. You can also set it using
163 the $OPAMJOBS environment variable.
164 -n, --no-action
166 Only for set-invariant: set the invariant, but don't enforce it
167 right away: wait for the next install, upgrade or similar command.
168 --no
170 Answer no to all opam yes/no questions without prompting. See also
171 --confirm-level. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMNO to "true".
172 --no-autoinstall
174 Removed in 2.1.
175 --no-install
177 When creating a local switch, don't look for any local package
178 definitions to install.
179 --no-switch
181 Don't automatically select newly installed switches.
182 --packages=PACKAGES
184 When installing a switch, explicitly define the set of packages to
185 enforce as the switch invariant.
186 --repositories=REPOS
188 When creating a new switch, use the given selection of repositories
189 instead of the default. REPOS should be a comma-separated list of
190 either already registered repository names (configured through e.g.
191 opam repository add --dont-select), or NAME=URL bindings, in which
192 case NAME should not be registered already to a different URL, and
193 the new repository will be registered. See opam repository for more
194 details. This option also affects list-available.
195 -s, --short
197 Output raw lists of names, one per line, skipping any details.
198 -y, --yes
200 Answer yes to all opam yes/no questions without prompting. See also
201 --confirm-level. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMYES to "true".
202
204 --assume-depexts
205 Skip the installation step for any missing system packages, and
206 attempt to proceed with compilation of the opam packages anyway. If
207 the installation is successful, opam won't prompt again about these
208 system packages. Only meaningful if external dependency handling is
209 enabled.
210 -b, --keep-build-dir
212 Keep the build directories after compiling packages. This is
213 equivalent to setting $OPAMKEEPBUILDDIR to "true".
214 --build-doc
216 Removed in 2.1, use --with-doc instead.
217 --build-test
219 Removed in 2.1, use --with-test instead.
220 -d, --with-doc
222 Build the package documentation. This only affects packages listed
223 on the command-line. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMWITHDOC (or
224 the deprecated $OPAMBUILDDOC) to "true".
225 --dry-run
227 Simulate the command, but don't actually perform any changes. This
228 also can be set with environment variable $OPAMDEBUG.
229 --fake
231 This option registers the actions into the opam database, without
232 actually performing them. WARNING: This option is dangerous and
233 likely to break your opam environment. You probably want --dry-run.
234 You've been warned.
235 --ignore-constraints-on[=PACKAGES] (default=)
237 Forces opam to ignore version constraints on all dependencies to
238 the listed packages. This can be used to test compatibility, but
239 expect builds to break when using this. Note that version
240 constraints on optional dependencies and conflicts are unaffected.
241 This is equivalent to setting $OPAMIGNORECONSTRAINTS.
242 --inplace-build
244 When compiling a package which has its source bound to a local
245 directory, process the build and install actions directly in that
246 directory, rather than in a clean copy handled by opam. This only
247 affects packages that are explicitly listed on the command-line.
248 This is equivalent to setting $OPAMINPLACEBUILD to "true".
249 --lock-suffix=SUFFIX (absent=locked)
251 Set locked files suffix to SUFFIX.
252 --locked
254 In commands that use opam files found from pinned sources, if a
255 variant of the file with an added .locked extension is found (e.g.
256 foo.opam.locked besides foo.opam), that will be used instead. This
257 is typically useful to offer a more specific set of dependencies
258 and reproduce similar build contexts, hence the name. The
259 lockoption can be used to generate such files, based on the
260 versions of the dependencies currently installed on the host. This
261 is equivalent to setting the $OPAMLOCKED environment variable. Note
262 that this option doesn't generally affect already pinned packages.
263 -m MAKE, --make=MAKE
265 Removed in 2.1, use opam config set[-global] make MAKE instead.
266 --no-checksums
268 Do not verify the checksum of downloaded archives.This is
269 equivalent to setting $OPAMNOCHECKSUMS to "true".
270 --no-depexts
272 Temporarily disables handling of external dependencies. This can be
273 used if a package is not available on your system package manager,
274 but you installed the required dependency by hand. Implies
275 --assume-depexts, and stores the exceptions upon success as well.
276 --require-checksums
278 Reject the installation of packages that don't provide a checksum
279 for the upstream archives. This is equivalent to setting
280 $OPAMREQUIRECHECKSUMS to "true".
281 --reuse-build-dir
283 Reuse existing build directories (kept by using --keep-build-dir),
284 instead of compiling from a fresh clone of the source. This can be
285 faster, but also lead to failures if the build systems of the
286 packages don't handle upgrades of dependencies well. This is
287 equivalent to setting $OPAMREUSEBUILDDIR to "true".
288 --show-actions
290 Call the solver and display the actions. Don't perform any changes.
291 This is equivalent to setting $OPAMSHOW.
292 --skip-updates
294 When running an install, upgrade or reinstall on source-pinned
295 packages, they are normally updated from their origin first. This
296 flag disables that behaviour and will keep them to their version in
297 cache. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMSKIPUPDATE.
298 -t, --with-test
300 Build and run the package unit-tests. This only affects packages
301 listed on the command-line. This is equivalent to setting
302 $OPAMWITHTEST (or the deprecated $OPAMBUILDTEST) to "true".
303 --unlock-base
305 Removed in 2.1, use --update-invariant instead.
306 --update-invariant
308 Allow changes to the packages set as switch base (typically, the
309 main compiler). Use with caution. This is equivalent to setting the
310 $OPAMUNLOCKBASE environment variable
311
313 These options are common to all commands.
314 --best-effort
316 Don't fail if all requested packages can't be installed: try to
317 install as many as possible. Note that not all external solvers may
318 support this option (recent versions of aspcud or mccs should).
319 This is equivalent to setting $OPAMBESTEFFORT environment variable.
320 --cli=MAJOR.MINOR (absent=2.1)
322 Use the command-line interface syntax and semantics of MAJOR.MINOR.
323 Intended for any persistent use of opam (scripts, blog posts,
324 etc.), any version of opam in the same MAJOR series will behave as
325 for the specified MINOR release. The flag was not available in opam
326 2.0, so to select the 2.0 CLI, set the OPAMCLI environment variable
327 to 2.0 instead of using this parameter.
328 --color=WHEN
330 Colorize the output. WHEN must be one of always, never or auto.
331 --confirm-level=LEVEL
333 Confirmation level, LEVEL must be one of ask, no, yes or
334 unsafe-yes. Can be specified more than once. If --yes or --no are
335 also given, the value of the last --confirm-level is taken into
336 account. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL`.
337 --criteria=CRITERIA
339 Specify user preferences for dependency solving for this run.
340 Overrides both $OPAMCRITERIA and $OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA. For details
341 on the supported language, and the external solvers available, see
342 http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/External_solvers.html. A general guide to
343 using solver preferences can be found at
344 http://www.dicosmo.org/Articles/usercriteria.pdf.
345 --cudf=FILENAME
347 Debug option: Save the CUDF requests sent to the solver to
348 FILENAME-<n>.cudf.
349 --debug
351 Print debug message to stderr. This is equivalent to setting
352 $OPAMDEBUG to "true".
353 --debug-level=LEVEL
355 Like --debug, but allows specifying the debug level (--debug sets
356 it to 1). Equivalent to setting $OPAMDEBUG to a positive integer.
357 --git-version
359 Print the git version of opam, if set (i.e. you are using a
360 development version), and exit.
361 --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
363 Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto,
364 pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain
365 whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.
366 --ignore-pin-depends
368 Ignore extra pins required by packages that get pinned, either
369 manually through opam pin or through opam install DIR. This is
370 equivalent to setting IGNOREPINDEPENDS=true.
371 --json=FILENAME
373 Save the results of the opam run in a computer-readable file. If
374 the filename contains the character `%', it will be replaced by an
375 index that doesn't overwrite an existing file. Similar to setting
376 the $OPAMJSON variable.
377 --no-aspcud
379 Removed in 2.1.
380 --no-auto-upgrade
382 When configuring or updating a repository that is written for an
383 earlier opam version (1.2), opam internally converts it to the
384 current format. This disables this behaviour. Note that
385 repositories should define their format version in a 'repo' file at
386 their root, or they will be assumed to be in the older format. It
387 is, in any case, preferable to upgrade the repositories manually
388 using opam admin upgrade [--mirror URL] when possible.
389 --no-self-upgrade
391 Opam will replace itself with a newer binary found at OPAMROOT/opam
392 if present. This disables this behaviour.
393 -q, --quiet
395 Disables --verbose.
396 --root=ROOT
398 Use ROOT as the current root path. This is equivalent to setting
399 $OPAMROOT to ROOT.
400 --safe, --readonly
402 Make sure nothing will be automatically updated or rewritten.
403 Useful for calling from completion scripts, for example. Will fail
404 whenever such an operation is needed ; also avoids waiting for
405 locks, skips interactive questions and overrides the $OPAMDEBUG
406 variable. This is equivalent to set environment variable $OPAMSAFE.
407 --solver=CMD
409 Specify the CUDF solver to use for resolving package installation
410 problems. This is either a predefined solver (this version of opam
411 supports builtin-mccs+lp(), builtin-mccs+glpk,
412 builtin-dummy-z3-solver, builtin-dummy-0install-solver, aspcud,
413 mccs, aspcud-old, packup), or a custom command that should contain
414 the variables %{input}%, %{output}%, %{criteria}%, and optionally
415 %{timeout}%. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMEXTERNALSOLVER.
416 --strict
418 Fail whenever an error is found in a package definition or a
419 configuration file. The default is to continue silently if
420 possible.
421 --switch=SWITCH
423 Use SWITCH as the current compiler switch. This is equivalent to
424 setting $OPAMSWITCH to SWITCH.
425 --use-internal-solver
427 Disable any external solver, and use the built-in one (this
428 requires that opam has been compiled with a built-in solver). This
429 is equivalent to setting $OPAMNOASPCUD or $OPAMUSEINTERNALSOLVER.
430 -v, --verbose
432 Be more verbose. One -v shows all package commands, repeat to also
433 display commands called internally (e.g. tar, curl, patch etc.)
434 Repeating n times is equivalent to setting $OPAMVERBOSE to "n".
435 --version
437 Show version information.
438 -w, --working-dir
440 Whenever updating packages that are bound to a local,
441 version-controlled directory, update to the current working state
442 of their source instead of the last committed state, or the ref
443 they are pointing to. As source directory is copied as it is, if it
444 isn't clean it may result on a opam build failure.This only affects
445 packages explicitly listed on the command-line.It can also be set
446 with $OPAMWORKINGDIR.
447
449 Opam makes use of the environment variables listed here. Boolean
450 variables should be set to "0", "no", "false" or the empty string to
451 disable, "1", "yes" or "true" to enable.
452 OPAMALLPARENS surround all filters with parenthesis.
454 OPAMASSUMEDEPEXTS see option `--assume-depexts'.
456 OPAMAUTOREMOVE see remove option `--auto-remove'.
458 OPAMBESTEFFORT see option `--best-effort'.
460 OPAMBESTEFFORTPREFIXCRITERIA sets the string that must be prepended to
462 the criteria when the `--best-effort' option is set, and is expected to
463 maximise the `opam-query' property in the solution.
464 OPAMBUILDDOC Removed in 2.1.
466 OPAMBUILDTEST Removed in 2.1.
468 OPAMCLI see option `--cli'.
470 OPAMCOLOR when set to always or never, sets a default value for the
472 `--color' option.
473 OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL see option `--confirm-level`. OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL has
475 priority over OPAMYES and OPAMNO.
476 OPAMCRITERIA specifies user preferences for dependency solving. The
478 default value depends on the solver version, use `config report' to
479 know the current setting. See also option --criteria.
480 OPAMCUDFFILE save the cudf graph to file-actions-explicit.dot.
482 OPAMCUDFTRIM controls the filtering of unrelated packages during CUDF
484 preprocessing.
485 OPAMCURL can be used to select a given 'curl' program. See OPAMFETCH
487 for more options.
488 OPAMDEBUG see options `--debug' and `--debug-level'.
490 OPAMDEBUGSECTIONS if set, limits debug messages to the space-separated
492 list of sections. Sections can optionally have a specific debug level
493 (for example, CLIENT:2 or CLIENT CUDF:2), but otherwise use
494 `--debug-level'.
495 OPAMDIGDEPTH defines how aggressive the lookup for conflicts during
497 CUDF preprocessing is.
498 OPAMDOWNLOADJOBS sets the maximum number of simultaneous downloads.
500 OPAMDROPWORKINGDIR overrides packages previously updated with
502 --working-dir on update. Without this variable set, opam would keep
503 them unchanged unless explicitly named on the command-line.
504 OPAMDRYRUN see option `--dry-run'.
506 OPAMEDITOR sets the editor to use for opam file editing, overrides
508 $EDITOR and $VISUAL.
509 OPAMERRLOGLEN sets the number of log lines printed when a sub-process
511 fails. 0 to print all.
512 OPAMEXTERNALSOLVER see option `--solver'.
514 OPAMFAKE see option `--fake'.
516 OPAMFETCH specifies how to download files: either `wget', `curl' or a
518 custom command where variables %{url}%, %{out}%, %{retry}%,
519 %{compress}% and %{checksum}% will be replaced. Overrides the
520 'download-command' value from the main config file.
521 OPAMFIXUPCRITERIA same as OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA, but specific to fixup.
523 OPAMIGNORECONSTRAINTS see install option `--ignore-constraints-on'.
525 OPAMIGNOREPINDEPENDS see option `--ignore-pin-depends'.
527 OPAMINPLACEBUILD see option `--inplace-build'.
529 OPAMJOBS sets the maximum number of parallel workers to run.
531 OPAMJSON log json output to the given file (use character `%' to index
533 the files).
534 OPAMKEEPBUILDDIR see install option `--keep-build-dir'.
536 OPAMKEEPLOGS tells opam to not remove some temporary command logs and
538 some backups. This skips some finalisers and may also help to get more
539 reliable backtraces.
540 OPAMLOCKED combination of `--locked' and `--lock-suffix' options.
542 OPAMLOGS logdir sets log directory, default is a temporary directory in
544 /tmp
545 OPAMMAKECMD set the system make command to use.
547 OPAMMERGEOUT merge process outputs, stderr on stdout.
549 OPAMNO answer no to any question asked, see options `--no` and
551 `--confirm-level`. OPAMNO is ignored if either OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL or
552 OPAMYES is set.
553 OPAMNOAGGREGATE with `opam admin check', don't aggregate packages.
555 OPAMNOASPCUD Deprecated.
557 OPAMNOAUTOUPGRADE disables automatic internal upgrade of repositories
559 in an earlier format to the current one, on 'update' or 'init'.
560 OPAMNOCHECKSUMS enables option --no-checksums when available.
562 OPAMNODEPEXTS disables system dependencies handling, see option
564 `--no-depexts'.
565 OPAMNOENVNOTICE Internal.
567 OPAMNOSELFUPGRADE see option `--no-self-upgrade'
569 OPAMPINKINDAUTO sets whether version control systems should be detected
571 when pinning to a local path. Enabled by default since 1.3.0.
572 OPAMPRECISETRACKING fine grain tracking of directories.
574 OPAMPREPRO set this to false to disable CUDF preprocessing. Less
576 efficient, but might help debugging solver issue.
577 OPAMREQUIRECHECKSUMS Enables option `--require-checksums' when
579 available (e.g. for `opam install').
580 OPAMRETRIES sets the number of tries before failing downloads.
582 OPAMREUSEBUILDDIR see option `--reuse-build-dir'.
584 OPAMROOT see option `--root'. This is automatically set by `opam env
586 --root=DIR --set-root'.
587 OPAMROOTISOK don't complain when running as root.
589 OPAMSAFE see option `--safe'.
591 OPAMSHOW see option `--show'.
593 OPAMSKIPUPDATE see option `--skip-updates'.
595 OPAMSKIPVERSIONCHECKS bypasses some version checks. Unsafe, for
597 compatibility testing only.
598 OPAMSOLVERALLOWSUBOPTIMAL (default `true') allows some solvers to still
600 return a solution when they reach timeout; while the solution remains
601 assured to be consistent, there is no guarantee in this case that it
602 fits the expected optimisation criteria. If `true', opam willcontinue
603 with a warning, if `false' a timeout is an error. Currently only the
604 builtin-z3 backend handles this degraded case.
605 OPAMSOLVERTIMEOUT change the time allowance of the solver. Default is
607 60.0, set to 0 for unlimited. Note that all solvers may not support
608 this option.
609 OPAMSTATS display stats at the end of command.
611 OPAMSTATUSLINE display a dynamic status line showing what's currently
613 going on on the terminal. (one of one of always, never or auto)
614 OPAMSTRICT fail on inconsistencies (file reading, switch import, etc.).
616 OPAMSWITCH see option `--switch'. Automatically set by `opam env
618 --switch=SWITCH --set-switch'.
619 OPAMUNLOCKBASE see install option `--unlock-base'.
621 OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA specifies user preferences for dependency solving
623 when performing an upgrade. Overrides OPAMCRITERIA in upgrades if both
624 are set. See also option --criteria.
625 OPAMUSEINTERNALSOLVER see option `--use-internal-solver'.
627 OPAMUSEOPENSSL force openssl use for hash computing.
629 OPAMUTF8 use UTF8 characters in output (one of one of always, never or
631 auto). By default `auto', which is determined from the locale).
632 OPAMUTF8MSGS use extended UTF8 characters (camels) in opam messages.
634 Implies OPAMUTF8. This is set by default on OSX only.
635 OPAMVALIDATIONHOOK if set, uses the `%{hook%}' command to validate an
637 opam repository update.
638 OPAMVERBOSE see option `--verbose'.
640 OPAMVERSIONLAGPOWER do not use.
642 OPAMWITHDOC see install option `--with-doc'.
644 OPAMWITHTEST see install option `--with-test.
646 OPAMWORKINGDIR see option `--working-dir'.
648 OPAMYES see options `--yes' and `--confirm-level`. OPAMYES has has
650 priority over OPAMNO and is ignored if OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL is set.
651 OPAMVAR_var overrides the contents of the variable var when
653 substituting `%{var}%` strings in `opam` files.
654 OPAMVAR_package_var overrides the contents of the variable package:var
656 when substituting `%{package:var}%` strings in `opam` files.

659 All scripts and programmatic invocations of opam should use `--cli' in
660 order to ensure that they work seamlessly with future versions of the
661 opam client. Additionally, blog posts or other documentation can
662 benefit, as it prevents information from becoming stale.
663 Although opam only supports roots (~/.opam/) for the current version,
665 it does provide backwards compatibility for its command-line interface.
666 Since CLI version support was only added in opam 2.1, use OPAMCLI to
668 select 2.0 support (as opam 2.0 will just ignore it), and `--cli=2.1'
669 for 2.1 (or later) versions, since an environment variable controlling
670 the parsing of syntax is brittle. To this end, opam displays a warning
671 if OPAMCLI specifies a valid version other than 2.0, and also if
672 `--cli=2.0' is specified.
673 The command-line version is selected by using the `--cli' option or the
675 OPAMCLI environment variable. `--cli' may be specified morethan once,
676 where the last instance takes precedence. OPAMCLI is only inspected if
677 `--cli' is not given.

680 As an exception to the following, the `exec' command returns 127 if the
681 command was not found or couldn't be executed, and the command's exit
682 value otherwise.
683 0 Success, or true for boolean queries.
685 1 False. Returned when a boolean return value is expected, e.g. when
687 running with --check, or for queries like opam lint.
688 2 Bad command-line arguments, or command-line arguments pointing to
690 an invalid context (e.g. file not following the expected format).
691 5 Not found. You requested something (package, version, repository,
693 etc.) that couldn't be found.
694 10 Aborted. The operation required confirmation, which wasn't given.
696 15 Could not acquire the locks required for the operation.
698 20 There is no solution to the user request. This can be caused by
700 asking to install two incompatible packages, for example.
701 30 Error in package definition, or other metadata files. Using
703 --strict raises this error more often.
704 31 Package script error. Some package operations were unsuccessful.
706 This may be an error in the packages or an incompatibility with
707 your system. This can be a partial error.
708 40 Sync error. Could not fetch some remotes from the network. This can
710 be a partial error.
711 50 Configuration error. Opam or system configuration doesn't allow
713 operation, and needs fixing.
714 60 Solver failure. The solver failed to return a sound answer. It can
716 be due to a broken external solver, or an error in solver
717 configuration.
718 99 Internal error. Something went wrong, likely due to a bug in opam
720 itself.
721 130 User interrupt. SIGINT was received, generally due to the user
723 pressing Ctrl-C.
