DESCRIPTION

       The solv tool demos some features of the libsolv library. It is not meant to replace a real package
       manager, for example it does not cache downloaded packages.

       --root ROOTDIR
           Install packages using ROOTDIR as root of the filesystem. This also means that the package database
           of ROOTDIR will be used.

       --clean
           Also get rid of no longer needed packages when erasing, like libraries that have been used by the
           erased packages.

       --best
           Force usage of the best package (normally the one with the highest version) for install and update
           operations.

       --testcase
           Write a testcase after dependency solving.

       The following options can be used to filter the packages. If the same option is used multiple times, the
       result is ORed together.

       -i
           Limit the packages to installed ones.

       -r REPO
           Limit the packages to the specified repository.

       --arch ARCHITECTURE
           Limit the packages to the specified package architecture.

       --type TYPE
           Limit the packages to the specified package type.
