Each +\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR argument is read and +added to an rpm transaction set. The elements of the transaction +set are partially ordered using a topological sort. The partially +ordered elements are then printed to standard output. +.PP +Nodes in the dependency graph are package names, and edges in the +directed graph point to the parent of each node. The parent node +is defined as the last predecessor of a package when partially ordered +using the package dependencies as a relation. That means that the +parent of a given package is the package's last prerequisite. +.PP +The output is in \fBdot\fR(1) directed graph format, +and can be displayed or printed using the \fBdotty\fR +graph editor from the \fBgraphviz\fR package. +There are no \fBrpmgraph\fR specific options, only common \fBrpm\fR options. +See the \fBrpmgraph\fR usage message for what is currently implemented. +.SH "SEE ALSO" + +\fBdot\fR(1), + +\fBdotty\fR(1), + +\fB http://www.graphviz.org/ <URL:http://www.graphviz.org/> +\fR +.SH "AUTHORS" + +Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> |
