.SH "REQUIRED ARGUMENTS"
.IX Header "REQUIRED ARGUMENTS"
it can be used without any argument, and then will apply on all packages
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 8
.IX Item "-help"
Print a brief help message and exits.
.IP "\fB\-man\fR" 8
.IX Item "-man"
Print the manual page and exits.
.IP "\fB\-version\fR" 8
.IX Item "-version"
Print the program release and exit.
.IP "\fB\-verbose\fR" 8
.IX Item "-verbose"
The program works and print debugging messages.
.IP "\fB\-use\-cache\fR" 8
.IX Item "-use-cache"
the rpm query may be long (10 to 30 s). If you will run an rpmorphan tool
several time, this option will allow to gain a lot of time :
it save the rpm query on a file cache (first call), then
use this cache instead quering rpm (others calls).
.IP "\fB\-clear\-cache\fR" 8
.IX Item "-clear-cache"
to remove cache file. Can be used with \-use\-cache to write
a new cache.
.IP "\fB\-exclude\fR" 8
.IX Item "-exclude"
this option will specify the packages to exclude from the output.
Can be used as '\-\-exclude pac1 \-\-exclude pac2'
or '\-\-exclude \*(L"pac1, pac2\*(R"'
.IP "\fB\-install\-time\fR" 8
.IX Item "-install-time"
install-time is a filter on the period from the package installation date to now (in days).
if set positive, it only allow packages installed before x days.
if set negative, it only allow packages installed since x days.
.IP "\fB\-access\-time\fR" 8
.IX Item "-access-time"
access-time is designed to filter packages which have not been used since x days.
.Sp
be careful : this option will slow the program
.IP "\fB\-fullalgo\fR" 8
.IX Item "-fullalgo"
for a small list of packages, rpmusage use a different quicker methode : rpm \-e \-\-test
.Sp
this option can be used to force the use of the full algo
.IP "\fB\-package\fR" 8
.IX Item "-package"
search if the given package(s) is(are) orphaned.
Can be used as '\-\-package pac1 \-\-package pac2'
or '\-\-package \*(L"pac1, pac2\*(R"'
.IP "\fB\-all\fR" 8
.IX Item "-all"
apply on all installed packages. The output should be interpreted.
For example lilo or grub are orphaned packages, but are necessary
to boot ...
.Sp
the \-install\-time and \-access\-time options may be useful to filter the list
