NAME

       rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph

SYNOPSIS

       rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       rpmgraph  uses PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package dependency graph.  Each PACKAGE_FILE argument
       is read and added to an rpm(8) transaction set.  The  elements  of  the  transaction  set  are  partially
       ordered using a topological sort.  The partially ordered elements are then printed to standard output.

       Nodes  in  the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the directed graph point to the parent of
       each node.  The parent node is defined as the last predecessor of a package when partially ordered  using
       the  package  dependencies as a relation.  That means that the parent of a given package is the package's
       last prerequisite.

       The output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be displayed or  printed  using  the  dotty  graph
       editor  from the graphviz package.  There are no rpmgraph specific options, only common rpm options.  See
       the rpmgraph usage message for what is currently implemented.
