NAME
opam-list - Display the list of available packages.
SYNOPSIS
opam list [OPTION]... [PATTERNS]...
DESCRIPTION
This command displays the list of installed packages, or the list of all the available packages if the --all flag is used. Unless the --short switch is used, the output format displays one package per line, and each line contains the name of the package, the installed version or -- if the package is not installed, and a short description. In color mode, root packages (eg. manually installed) are underlined. The full description can be obtained by doing opam info <package>. You can search through the package descriptions using the opam search command.
ARGUMENTS
PATTERNS List of package patterns.
OPTIONS
-a, --all List all the packages which can be installed on the system. -i, --installed List installed packages only. --installed-roots Display only the installed roots. -s, --short Output the names separated by one whitespace instead of using the usual formatting. -S, --sort Sort the packages in dependency order.
COMMON OPTIONS
These options are common to all commands. --color=WHEN (absent=auto) Colorize the output. WHEN must be `always', `never' or `auto'. --compat-mode-1.0 Compatibility mode with OPAM 1.0 --debug Print debug message on stdout. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMDEBUG to a non-empty value. --git-version Print the git version if it exists and exit. --help[=FMT] (default=pager) Show this help in format FMT (pager, plain or groff). --no-aspcud Do not use the external aspcud solver, even if available. --no-base-packages Do not install base packages (useful for testing purposes). This is equivalent to setting $OPAMNOBASEPACKAGES to a non-empty string. -q, --quiet Be quiet when installing a new compiler. -r ROOT, --root=ROOT (absent=~/.opam) Use ROOT as the current root path. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMROOT to ROOT. --strict Fail whenever an error is found in a package definition or a configuration file. The default is to continue silently if possible. --switch=SWITCH Use SWITCH as the current compiler switch. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMSWITCH to SWITCH. -v, --verbose Be more verbose. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMVERBOSE to a non-empty value. --version Show version information. -y, --yes Disable interactive mode and answer yes to all questions that would otherwise be asked to the user. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMYES to a non-empty string.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
opam makes use of environment variables listed here. OPAMCOLOR, when set to always or never, sets a default value for the --color option OPAMCURL can be used to define an alternative for the 'curl' command-line utility to download files
