.SH "DESCRIPTION"
2ff057
.PP
2ff057
\fBrpmgraph\fR uses \fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR arguments
2ff057
to generate a package dependency graph. Each
2ff057
\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR argument is read and
2ff057
added to an rpm transaction set. The elements of the transaction
2ff057
set are partially ordered using a topological sort. The partially
2ff057
ordered elements are then printed to standard output.
2ff057
.PP
2ff057
Nodes in the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the
2ff057
directed graph point to the parent of each node. The parent node
2ff057
is defined as the last predecessor of a package when partially ordered
2ff057
using the package dependencies as a relation. That means that the
2ff057
parent of a given package is the package's last prerequisite.
2ff057
.PP
2ff057
The output is in \fBdot\fR(1) directed graph format,
2ff057
and can be displayed or printed using the \fBdotty\fR
2ff057
graph editor from the \fBgraphviz\fR package.
2ff057
There are no \fBrpmgraph\fR specific options, only common \fBrpm\fR options.
2ff057
See the \fBrpmgraph\fR usage message for what is currently implemented.
