Usage

foton info [OPTIONS] <PACKAGE>...

Arguments

<PACKAGE>

Package names, optionally with an exact version as <package-name>@<version>.

Options

--no-confirm

Skip interactive confirmation prompts.

--warnings-as-errors

Treat warnings as errors, causing the command to fail if any warning is emitted.

Examples

foton info <package-name>@<version>

Output

info prints detailed metadata for matching packages recorded in the local package database, including:

• package name and display name
• version and current package state
• description, aliases, faces, homepage, repository, and license
• source URLs, hashes, and include or exclude patterns

If a package name matches multiple packages recorded in the local package database, info prints all of them. This can include packages left by incomplete operations.

Notes

• info reads the local package database and does not search package registries.
• If no package recorded in the local package database matches the specified package name, the command fails.
• Use repair when you want to clean up packages left by incomplete operations.
• Use search when you want to inspect packages that are available in a package registry but not yet installed.
