## NAME

dnf5-list - List Command

## SYNOPSIS

**dnf5 list \[options\] \[\<package-spec-NI\>...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Prints lists of packages based on the provided parameters.

If terminal is available, list of the packages is colored, packages available for reinstall are (by default) colored with bold green and packages available for upgrade with bold blue. This behavior can be adjusted in **[dnf5.conf(5)](/dnf5.conf/5.md)** via *color\_list\_available\_upgrade* and *color\_list\_available\_reinstall* options.

## OPTIONS

  ```
  Show all versions of the packages, not only the latest one.
  ```

  ```
  Filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from.
  ```

- **--installed**

  ```
  List only installed packages.
  ```

- **--available**

  ```
  List only available packages.
  ```

- **--extras**

  ```
  List only extras: packages installed on the system that are not available in any known repository.
  ```

- **--obsoletes**

  ```
  List only packages installed on the system that are obsoleted by packages in any known repository.
  ```

- **--recent**

  ```

  ```

## JSON OUTPUT

**dnf5 list --json**

  keys represent a section of the “pretty” CLI output

- •

  values represent the packages in that section as an array of objects with the following structure:

  - •

    **name** (string): package name

  - •

    **arch** (string): package architecture

  - •

    **evr** (string): available update version

  - •

    **repository** (string): repository ID from which the update is available

    **obsoletes** (array): (only for the “Obsoleting packages” section) list of the packages that obsolete this package (they have the same structure as above, omitting **obsoletes**)
