# apk-dot(8)

generate graphviz graphs

## NAME

apk dot - generate graphviz graphs

## SYNOPSIS

**apk dot** \[\<*options*\>...\] \[*pkgmask*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**apk dot** renders package dependencies as graphviz graphs.

The graph is generated for the packages matching the masks given, or for every known package if unspecified (this will generate a large and unwieldy graph).

## OPTIONS

In addition to the global options (see [**apk**(8)](/apk/8.md)), and query options (see [**apk-query**(8)](/apk-query/8.md)) the following options are supported:

- **--errors**

  Consider only packages with errors. This is useful for visually reporting e.g. cyclic dependencies and missing packages.
