NAME

6       rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       rpmgraph  uses  PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package dependency
13       graph.  Each PACKAGE_FILE argument is read and added to an rpm transac‐
14       tion  set.   The  elements of the transaction set are partially ordered
15       using a topological sort.  The  partially  ordered  elements  are  then
16       printed to standard output.
17
18       Nodes  in  the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the di‐
19       rected graph point to the parent of each node.  The parent node is  de‐
20       fined as the last predecessor of a package when partially ordered using
21       the package dependencies as a relation.  That means that the parent  of
22       a given package is the package's last prerequisite.
23
24       The  output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be displayed or
25       printed using the dotty graph editor from the graphviz package.   There
26       are no rpmgraph specific options, only common rpm options.  See the rp‐
27       mgraph usage message for what is currently implemented.
