Description
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.
Examples
pacman-conf -r core Usage
Show the value of the Usage configuration option for core repository.
pacman-conf HoldPkg
Show the value of the HoldPkg configuration option.
