       dose-ceve - parse package metadata

SYNOPSIS

       dose-ceve [-h] [-v] [-e pkgspec] [-c pkgspec] [-r pkgspec] [--depth=n] [-t format] [-o filename] input-
       spec

DESCRIPTION

       Dose-ceve  is  a  generalized metadata parser. It reads package specifications, extracts package metadata
       from them, performs some manipulations, and outputs the package metadata in one of several formats.

OPTIONS

       -h  This option displays the help message. Can also be specified as --help.

       -v  Be verbose. This option can be repeated for more verbosity.

       -e pkgspec
           (Option Not Implemented Yet) Extract the transitive closure of packages  connected  (by  conflict  or
           dependency)  to  any  of the packages that satisfy pkgspec. Such a package specification is a list of
           packages (separated by a semicolon), where each package is specified as follows: (name,version). This
           option can also be specified as --extract=pkgspec.

       -c pkgspec
           Similar to the -c option, but only uses the dependency relation to make the transitive closure.  This
           option can also be specified as --cone=pkgspec.

       -r pkgspec
           Similar  to  the  -e  and -c options, but uses the reverse dependency relation to make the transitive
           closure. This option can also be specified as --rcone=pkgspec.

       --depth=n
           In combination with the -e, -c or -r options, this specifies the maximum  depth  for  the  transitive
           closure.  =item -t format

           Specifies  the  output  format  to  use.  Possible  values are dot for a graph output in Dot/GraphViz
           format, cnf for an output in CNF format, dimacs for an output in the DIMACS format for CNF  formulae,
           and  cudf  for  a pretty-print output in an RFC 822-like format. This option can also be specified as
           --outtype=format.

       -o filename
           Instead of stdout, send  output  to  the  file  filename.  This  option  can  also  be  specified  as
           --outfile=filename.

       input-spec
           This  is  a URL specifying both the input format and the file to get the input from. Possible schemes
           are:

           cudf
               for cudf files

           deb for Debian package files (possibly compressed with gzip(1) or bzip2(1), depending on compile-time
               options for dose3)

           debstdin
               for Debian package files read from standard input

           eclipse
               for Eclipse (p2) package files

           pgsql
               for PostgreSQL databasess

           sqlite
               for sqlite databases

           hdlist
               for RPM hdlists

           synth
               for urpmi synthesis hdlists

           Some examples of URLs:

       deb://Packages.gz
           (the Debian file packages.gz in the current directory)

       cudf:///home/examples/cudf/test.cudf
           (the CUDF file /home/examples/cudf/test.cudf)

       psql://user@db.mancoosi.org:723/packages
           (the database packages on host db.mancoosi.org on port 723, accessed as user user)
