<RefSect1><Title>Description</>
<para>
<command/apt-cache/ performs a variety of operations on APT's package
cache. <command/apt-cache/ does not manipulate the state of the system
but does provide operations to search and generate interesting output
from the package metadata.
<para>
Unless the <option/-h/, or <option/--help/ option is given, one of the
commands below must be present.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><Term>add <replaceable/file(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/add/ adds the named package index files to the package cache.
This is for debugging only.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>gencaches</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/gencaches/ performs the same operation as
<command/apt-get check/. It builds the source and package caches from
the sources in &sources-list; and from <filename>/var/lib/dpkg/status</>.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>showpkg <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/showpkg/ displays information about the packages listed on the
command line. Remaining arguments are package names. The available
versions and reverse dependencies of each package listed are listed, as
well as forward dependencies for each version. Forward (normal)
dependencies are those packages upon which the package in question
depends; reverse dependencies are those packages that depend upon the
package in question. Thus, forward dependencies must be satisfied for a
package, but reverse dependencies need not be.
For instance, <command>apt-cache showpkg libreadline2</> would produce
output similar to the following:
<informalexample><programlisting>
Package: libreadline2
Versions: 2.1-12(/var/state/apt/lists/foo_Packages),
Reverse Depends:
libreadlineg2,libreadline2
libreadline2-altdev,libreadline2
Dependencies:
2.1-12 - libc5 (2 5.4.0-0) ncurses3.0 (0 (null))
Provides:
2.1-12 -
Reverse Provides:
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>
Thus it may be seen that libreadline2, version 2.1-12, depends on libc5 and
ncurses3.0 which must be installed for libreadline2 to work.
In turn, libreadlineg2 and libreadline2-altdev depend on libreadline2. If
libreadline2 is installed, libc5 and ncurses3.0 (and ldso) must also be
installed; libreadlineg2 and libreadline2-altdev do not have to be
installed. For the specific meaning of the remainder of the output it
is best to consult the apt source code.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>stats</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/stats/ displays some statistics about the cache.
No further arguments are expected. Statistics reported are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Total package names/ is the number of package names found
in the cache.
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Normal packages/ is the number of regular, ordinary package
names; these are packages that bear a one-to-one correspondence between
their names and the names used by other packages for them in
dependencies. The majority of packages fall into this category.
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Pure virtual packages/ is the number of packages that exist
only as a virtual package name; that is, packages only "provide" the
virtual package name, and no package actually uses the name. For
instance, "mail-transport-agent" in the Debian GNU/Linux system is a
pure virtual package; several packages provide "mail-transport-agent",
but there is no package named "mail-transport-agent".
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Single virtual packages/ is the number of packages with only
one package providing a particular virtual package. For example, in the
Debian GNU/Linux system, "X11-text-viewer" is a virtual package, but
only one package, xless, provides "X11-text-viewer".
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Mixed virtual packages/ is the number of packages that either
provide a particular virtual package or have the virtual package name
as the package name. For instance, in the Debian GNU/Linux system,
"debconf" is both an actual package, and provided by the debconf-tiny
package.
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Missing/ is the number of package names that were referenced in
a dependency but were not provided by any package. Missing packages may
be in evidence if a full distribution is not accessed, or if a package
(real or virtual) has been dropped from the distribution. Usually they
are referenced from Conflicts statements.
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Total distinct/ versions is the number of package versions
found in the cache; this value is therefore at least equal to the
number of total package names. If more than one distribution (both
"stable" and "unstable", for instance), is being accessed, this value
can be considerably larger than the number of total package names.
</listitem>
<listitem><para>
<literal/Total dependencies/ is the number of dependency relationships
claimed by all of the packages in the cache.
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>showsrc <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/showsrc/ displays all the source package records that match
the given package names. All versions are shown, as well as all
records that declare the name to be a Binary.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>dump</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/dump/ shows a short listing of every package in the cache. It is
primarily for debugging.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>dumpavail</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/dumpavail/ prints out an available list to stdout. This is
suitable for use with &dpkg; and is used by the &dselect; method.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>unmet</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/unmet/ displays a summary of all unmet dependencies in the
package cache.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>show <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/show/ performs a function similar to
<command>dpkg --print-avail</>i; it displays the package records for the
named packages.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>search <replaceable/regex [ regex ... ]/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/search/ performs a full text search on all available package
lists for the regex pattern given. It searches the package names and the
descriptions for an occurrence of the regular expression and prints out
the package name and the short description. If <option/--full/ is given
then output identical to <literal/show/ is produced for each matched
package, and if <option/--names-only/ is given then the long description
is not searched, only the package name is.
<para>
Separate arguments can be used to specify multiple search patterns that
are and'ed together.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>depends <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/depends/ shows a listing of each dependency a package has
and all the possible other packages that can fulfill that dependency.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>rdepends <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/rdepends/ shows a listing of each reverse dependency a package
has.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>pkgnames <replaceable/[ prefix ]/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
This command prints the name of each package in the system. The optional
argument is a prefix match to filter the name list. The output is suitable
for use in a shell tab complete function and the output is generated
extremely quickly. This command is best used with the
<option/--generate/ option.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>dotty <replaceable/pkg(s)/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/dotty/ takes a list of packages on the command line and
generates output suitable for use by dotty from the
<ulink url="http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/">GraphViz</>
package. The result will be a set of nodes and edges representing the
relationships between the packages. By default the given packages will
trace out all dependent packages; this can produce a very large graph.
To limit the output to only the packages listed on the command line,
set the <literal>APT::Cache::GivenOnly</> option.
<para>
The resulting nodes will have several shapes; normal packages are boxes,
pure provides are triangles, mixed provides are diamonds,
missing packages are hexagons. Orange boxes mean recursion was stopped
[leaf packages], blue lines are pre-depends, green lines are conflicts.
<para>
Caution, dotty cannot graph larger sets of packages.
<VarListEntry><Term>policy <replaceable/[ pkg(s) ]/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/policy/ is ment to help debug issues relating to the
preferences file. With no arguments it will print out the
priorities of each source. Otherwise it prints out detailed information
about the priority selection of the named package.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>madison <replaceable/[ pkg(s) ]/</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/apt-cache/'s <literal/madison/ command attempts to mimic
the output format and a subset of the functionality of the Debian
archive management tool, <literal/madison/. It displays
available versions of a package in a tabular format. Unlike the
original <literal/madison/, it can only display information for
the architecture for which APT has retrieved package lists
(<literal/APT::Architecture/).

<RefSect1><Title>Description</>
<para>
<command/apt-ftparchive/ is the command line tool that generates the index
files that APT uses to access a distribution source. The index files should
be generated on the origin site based on the content of that site.
<para>
<command/apt-ftparchive/ is a superset of the &dpkg-scanpackages; program,
incorporating its entire functionality via the <literal/packages/ command.
It also contains a contents file generator, <literal/contents/, and an
elaborate means to 'script' the generation process for a complete
archive.
<para>
Internally <command/apt-ftparchive/ can make use of binary databases to
cache the contents of a .deb file and it does not rely on any external
programs aside from &gzip;. When doing a full generate it automatically
performs file-change checks and builds the desired compressed output files.
<para>
Unless the <option/-h/, or <option/--help/ option is given one of the
commands below must be present.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><term>packages</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The packages command generates a package file from a directory tree. It
takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .deb files,
emitting a package record to stdout for each. This command is
approximately equivalent to &dpkg-scanpackages;.
<para>
The option <option/--db/ can be used to specify a binary caching DB.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>sources</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The <literal/sources/ command generates a source index file from a directory tree.
It takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .dsc files,
emitting a source record to stdout for each. This command is approximately
equivalent to &dpkg-scansources;.
<para>
If an override file is specified then a source override file will be
looked for with an extension of .src. The --source-override option can be
used to change the source override file that will be used.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>contents</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The <literal/contents/ command generates a contents file from a directory tree. It
takes the given directory and recursively searches it for .deb files,
and reads the file list from each file. It then sorts and writes to stdout
the list of files matched to packages. Directories are not written to
the output. If multiple packages own the same file then each package is
separated by a comma in the output.
<para>
The option <option/--db/ can be used to specify a binary caching DB.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>release</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The <literal/release/ command generates a Release file from a
directory tree. It recursively searches the given directory for
Packages, Packages.gz, Packages.bz2, Sources, Sources.gz,
Sources.bz2, Release and md5sum.txt files. It then writes to
stdout a Release file containing an MD5 digest and SHA1 digest
for each file.
<para>
Values for the additional metadata fields in the Release file are
taken from the corresponding variables under
<literal/APT::FTPArchive::Release/,
e.g. <literal/APT::FTPArchive::Release::Origin/. The supported fields
are: <literal/Origin/, <literal/Label/, <literal/Suite/,
<literal/Version/, <literal/Codename/, <literal/Date/,
<literal/Architectures/, <literal/Components/, <literal/Description/.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>generate</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The <literal/generate/ command is designed to be runnable from a cron script and
builds indexes according to the given config file. The config language
provides a flexible means of specifying which index files are built from
which directories, as well as providing a simple means of maintaining the
required settings.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>clean</term>
<ListItem><Para>
The <literal/clean/ command tidies the databases used by the given
configuration file by removing any records that are no longer necessary.
</VarListEntry>
</VariableList>
</RefSect1>
<RefSect1><Title>The Generate Configuration</>
<para>
The <literal/generate/ command uses a configuration file to describe the
archives that are going to be generated. It follows the typical ISC
configuration format as seen in ISC tools like bind 8 and dhcpd.
&apt-conf; contains a description of the syntax. Note that the generate
configuration is parsed in sectional manner, but &apt-conf; is parsed in a
tree manner. This only effects how the scope tag is handled.
<para>
The generate configuration has 4 separate sections, each described below.
<refsect2><title>Dir Section</>
<Para>
The <literal/Dir/ section defines the standard directories needed to
locate the files required during the generation process. These
directories are prepended to certain relative paths defined in later
sections to produce a complete an absolute path.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><term>ArchiveDir</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the root of the FTP archive, in a standard
Debian configuration this is the directory that contains the
<filename/ls-LR/, and dist nodes.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>OverrideDir</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the location of the override files.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>CacheDir</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the location of the cache files
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>FileListDir</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the location of the file list files,
if the <literal/FileList/ setting is used below.
</VarListEntry>
</VariableList>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>Default Section</>
<para>
The <literal/Default/ section specifies default values, and settings
that control the operation of the generator. Other sections may override
these defaults with a per-section setting.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><term>Packages::Compress</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Sets the default compression schemes to use
for the Package index files. It is a string that contains a space
separated list of at least one of: '.' (no compression), 'gzip' and
'bzip2'. The default for all compression schemes is '. gzip'.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>Packages::Extensions</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Sets the default list of file extensions that are package files.
This defaults to '.deb'.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>Sources::Compress</term>
<ListItem><Para>
This is similar to <literal/Packages::Compress/
except that it controls the compression for the Sources files.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>Sources::Extensions</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Sets the default list of file extensions that are source files.
This defaults to '.dsc'.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>Contents::Compress</term>
<ListItem><Para>
This is similar to <literal/Packages::Compress/
except that it controls the compression for the Contents files.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>DeLinkLimit</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the number of kilobytes to delink (and
replace with hard links) per run. This is used in conjunction with the
per-section <literal/External-Links/ setting.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>FileMode</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Specifies the mode of all created index files. It
defaults to 0644. All index files are set to this mode with no regard
to the umask.
</VarListEntry>
</VariableList>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>TreeDefault Section</>
<para>
Sets defaults specific to <literal/Tree/ sections. All of these
variables are substitution variables and have the strings $(DIST),
$(SECTION) and $(ARCH) replaced with their respective values.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><term>MaxContentsChange</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Sets the number of kilobytes of contents
files that are generated each day. The contents files are round-robined
so that over several days they will all be rebuilt.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>ContentsAge</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Controls the number of days a contents file is allowed
to be checked without changing. If this limit is passed the mtime of the
contents file is updated. This case can occur if the package file is
changed in such a way that does not result in a new contents file
[override edit for instance]. A hold off is allowed in hopes that new
.debs will be installed, requiring a new file anyhow. The default is 10,
the units are in days.
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><term>Directory</term>
<ListItem><Para>
Sets the top of the .deb directory tree. Defaults to
