Output is a list of the following format, where package names are\nsource packages by default:\n\nJ. Random Developer \nj-random-package\nj-random-other\n\nDiana Hacker \nfun-package\nmore-fun-package\n\nThis is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages that need to atten‐\ntion from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when a library version transition happens.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### -h --help\n\nPrint brief help message.\n\n#### -i --stdin\n\nRead package names from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command\nline. Package names are whitespace delimited.\n\n#### -d --dctrl\n\nRead package list from standard input in the format of a Debian package control file.\nThis includes the status file, or output of apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use\ndd-list, as it uses the maintainer information from the input instead of looking up\nthe maintainer of each listed package.\n\nIf no Source: line is given, the Package: name is used for output, which might be a\nbinary package name.\n\n#### -z --uncompress\n\nTry to uncompress the --dctrl input before parsing. Supported compression formats are\ngz, bzip2 or xz.\n\n#### -s --sources\n\nRead package information from the specified Sourcesfiles. This can be given multiple\ntimes. The files can be gz, bzip2 or xz compressed. If the filename does not end in\n.gz, .bz2 or .xz, then the -z option must be used.\n\nIf no Sourcesfiles are specified, dd-list will ask apt-get for an appropriate set of\nsources (if apt is at version greater than 1.1.8), else any files matching\n/var/lib/apt/lists/*sourceSources will be used.\n\n#### -u --uploaders\n\nAlso list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only the maintainers;\nthis is the default behaviour, use --nouploaders to prevent it. Uploaders are indi‐\ncated with \"(U)\" appended to the package name.\n\n#### -nou --nouploaders\n\nOnly list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.\n\n#### -b --print-binary\n\nUse binary package names in the output instead of source package names (has no effect\nwith --dctrl if the Package: line contains source package names).\n\n#### -V --version\n\nPrint the version.\n\n### AUTHOR\n\nLars Wirzenius \n\nJoey Hess \n\n\n\nDebian 2011-10-27 DD-LIST(1)\n\n" } ], "structuredContent": { "command": "dd-list", "section": "1", "mode": "man", "summary": "dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers", "synopsis": "dd-list [-hiusV] [--help] [--stdin] [--sources Sourcesfile] [--dctrl] [--version] [--upload‐‐\ners] [package ...]", "flags": [ { "flag": "-h", "long": "--help", "arg": null, "description": "Print brief help message." }, { "flag": "-i", "long": "--stdin", "arg": null, "description": "Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command line.
