sbbdep options

$ sbbdep --help
usage: sbbdep [OPTION]... [QUERY]

 QUERY can be a single binary/library file
              a file from /var/adm/packages
              a package DESTDIR of a slackbuild
              some existing file

 If QUERY is omitted sbbdep runs only the cache synchronisation.
 The default behavior is to find dependencies of QUERY.
 If QUERY is not a binary file or an installed package but a valid file name
 sbbdep will search for the file in the package database.

 available options:

  -c, --cache=[FILENAME]
      Cache file to use. The cache file must be read/writable.
      If this option is omitted $HOME/.cache/sbbdep.db is used.

  -f, --file=[FILENAME]
      write output to file FILENAME
      If this option is omitted the output will go to stdout.

  -s, --short
      Report package name without version

  --nosync
      Skip synchronise the cache. Only useful if cache is up to date.
      If the cache is out of date wrong results might be reported.

  --quiet
      Suppress status information during sync

  --require
      this is the default option if not --whoneeds is used.
      If this option is explicit given and QUERY is not a binary file
      the search in the package database will be skipped.

  --whoneeds
      Instead of printing the requirements of the given QUERY, packages that
      depend on QUERY are reported.

  --xdl
      explain dynamic linked file. Reports detailed information,
      works with require and whoneeds queries.

  --ldd
      Per default sbbdep uses the ELF information from files for the search
      of required libraries. Using this option sbbdep will use the ldd command.
      This will not only print direct requirements of a given file but also pull
      in the dependencies of the requirements.
      This option is useless for a --whoneeds query.

  --bdtree
      Prints a hierarchical dependency tree of QUERY.
      This can produce very long output for some binaries or libraries,
      and extremely long output for some packages.

  -l, --lookup
      Search for QUERY in the package database and skip all other operations

  --admdir=[DIRNAME]
      Use DIRNAME as package database. Default is /var/adm/packages
      Usually you do not want to use this option

  -v,  --version
      display sbbdep version

  -h,  --help
      display this text
