dpigs [options]
Overview
dpigs sorts the installed packages by size and outputs the largest ones. Per default dpigs displays the largest 10 packages. You can change this value by using the -n option (see "OPTIONS"). The information is taken from the dpkg status file with grep-status(1).
Options
-
-n, --lines=N -

-
-s, --status=FILE -
Use FILE instead of the default dpkg status file (which is /var/lib/dpkg/status currently).
-
-S, --source -
Display the largest source packages of binary packages installed on the system.
-
-H, --human-readable -
Display package sizes in human-readable format (like ls -lh or du -h)
-
-h, --help -
Display some usage information and exit.
