NAME
pacconf - query pacman's configuration file
SYNOPSIS
pacconf [options] [<directive>...]pacconf (--repo-list|--help|--version)
DESCRIPTION
Query configuration options from pacman's configuration file. If no directives are provided, the entire configuration will be printed in a normalized format. By default, if only a single directive is provided, only its value will be printed without the option name. For directives without a value, the directive name will be used as the value.
The values displayed are the final values as would be parsed by pacman itself. All default values are set, "Include" directives are processed, $arch and $repo variables in repository servers are replaced, and "Architecture" will be replaced if set to "auto".
