OPAM ADMIN-LIST(1)	       Opam admin Manual	    OPAM ADMIN-LIST(1)

NAME
       opam admin-list - Lists packages	from a repository

SYNOPSIS
       opam admin list [--environment=VAR=VALUE[,VAR=VALUE]] [OPTION]
       [PATTERNS]

DESCRIPTION
       This command is similar to 'opam	list', but allows listing packages
       directly	from a repository instead of what is available in a given opam
       installation.

ARGUMENTS
       PATTERNS
	   Package patterns with globs.	matching against NAME or NAME.VERSION

OPTIONS
       --environment=VAR=VALUE[,VAR=VALUE]
	   Use	the  given  opam  environment,	in  the	 form  of  a  list  of
	   comma-separated 'var=value'	bindings,  when	 resolving  variables.
	   This	 is used e.g. when computing available packages: if undefined,
	   availability	of packages will be assumed as soon as it can  not  be
	   resolved  purely from globally defined variables. Note that,	unless
	   overridden, variables like 'root' or	'opam-version'	may  be	 taken
	   from	  the	current	  opam	 installation.	 What  is  defined  in
	   ~/.opam/config is always ignored.

ORDER-SENSIBLE SELECTORS
       These options are sensible to the order they are	given to the  command.
       For  example:  --available  --latests-only  will	 first	list  all  the
       available packages, then	choose only the	latest packages	in  that  set;
       while  --latests-only  --available  will	 first	lists  all  the	latest
       packages, then only show	the ones that are available in that set.

       -a, --available
	   List	only packages that are	available  according  to  the  defined
	   environment.	 Without --environment,	this will include any packages
	   for which availability is not resolvable at this point.

       -A, --all
	   Include all,	even uninstalled or unavailable	packages

       --installable
	   List	only packages that are installable according  to  the  defined
	   environment	(this  calls  the  solver  and	may  be	more costly; a
	   package depending on	an unavailable one may be  available,  but  is
	   never installable)

       --latests-only
	   List	only the latest	version	of each	package.

PACKAGE	SELECTION OPTIONS
       These  options  will  always be given to	the command in the same	order,
       regardless of the order they have been given to the command.

       --coinstallable-with=PACKAGES
	   Only	list packages that are compatible with all of PACKAGES.

       --conflicts-with=PACKAGES
	   List	packages that have declared conflicts with at least one	of the
	   given list. This includes conflicts defined from  the  packages  in
	   the	list,  from  the other package,	or by a	common conflict-class:
	   field.

       --depends-on=PACKAGES
	   List	 only  packages	 that  depend  on  one	of   (comma-separated)
	   PACKAGES.

       --depopts
	   Include optional dependencies in dependency requests.

       --dev
	   Include development packages	in dependencies.

       --field-match=FIELD:PATTERN
	   Filter packages with	a match	for PATTERN on the given FIELD

       --has-flag=FLAG
	   Only	 include packages which	have the given flag set. Package flags
	   are one of: light-uninstall verbose plugin compiler conf

       --has-tag=TAG
	   Only	includes packages which	have the given tag set

       --nobuild
	   Exclude build dependencies (they are	included by default).

       --or
	   Instead of selecting	packages that match all	the  criteria,	select
	   packages that match any of them

       --post
	   Include dependencies	tagged as post.

       --recursive
	   With	 `--depends-on'	 and  `--required-by',	display	all transitive
	   dependencies	rather than just direct	dependencies.

       --required-by=PACKAGES
	   List	only the dependencies of (comma-separated) PACKAGES.

       --resolve=PACKAGES
	   Restrict to a solution to install (comma-separated) PACKAGES,  i.e.
	   a  consistent  set  of  packages  including	those.	This is	subtly
	   different  from  `--required-by   --recursive`,   which   is	  more
	   predictable	 and   can't   fail,   but   lists   all  dependencies
	   independently without ensuring consistency. Without	`--installed`,
	   the	answer	is  self-contained  and	 independent  of  the  current
	   installation. With `--installed', it's computed  from  the  set  of
	   currently  installed	 packages.  `--no-switch`  further  makes  the
	   solution  independent   from	  the	currently   pinned   packages,
	   architecture,   and	 compiler   version.   The   combination  with
	   `--depopts' is not supported.

       -t, --with-test,	--test
	   Include test-only dependencies.

       --with-dev-setup
	   Include developer only dependencies.

       --with-doc, --doc
	   Include doc-only dependencies.

OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS
       --columns=COLUMNS
	   Select the  columns	to  display  among:  name,  version,  package,
	   synopsis,	  synopsis-or-target,	   description,	     <field>:,
	   installed-version,	    pin,	source-hash,	    opam-file,
	   all-installed-versions,	available-versions,	 all-versions,
	   repository, installed-files,	vc-ref,	depexts. The default  is  name
	   when	   --short    is    present   and   name,   installed-version,
	   synopsis-or-target otherwise.

       --normalise
	   Print the values of opam fields normalised

       -S, --sort
	   Sort	the packages in	dependency order (i.e. an order	in which  they
	   could be individually installed.)

       -s, --short
	   Don't print a header, and sets the default columns to name only. If
	   you need package versions included, use --columns=package instead

       --separator=STRING (absent= )
	   Set the column-separator string

       -V, --all-versions
	   Normally,  when  multiple  versions of a package match, only	one is
	   shown in the	output (the installed  one,  the  pinned-to  one,  or,
	   failing  that,  the highest one available or	the highest one). This
	   flag	disables this behaviour	and shows all matching versions.  This
	   also	changes	the default display format to include package versions
	   instead of just package names (including when --short is set). This
	   is  automatically  turned on	when a single non-pattern package name
	   is provided on the command-line.

       --wrap
	   Wrap	long lines, the	default	being to truncate when displaying on a
	   terminal, or	to keep	as is otherwise

COMMON OPTIONS
       These options are common	to all commands.

       --best-effort
	   Don't fail if all requested packages	can't  be  installed:  try  to
	   install as many as possible.	Note that not all external solvers may
	   support  this  option  (recent  versions of aspcud or mccs should).
	   This	is equivalent to setting $OPAMBESTEFFORT environment variable.

       --cli=MAJOR.MINOR (absent=2.3)
	   Use the command-line	interface syntax and semantics of MAJOR.MINOR.
	   Intended for	any persistent	use  of	 opam  (scripts,  blog	posts,
	   etc.),  any version of opam in the same MAJOR series	will behave as
	   for the specified MINOR release. The	flag was not available in opam
	   2.0,	so to select the 2.0 CLI, set the OPAMCLI environment variable
	   to 2.0 instead of using this	parameter.

       --color=WHEN
	   Colorize the	output.	WHEN must be one of always, never or auto.

       --confirm-level=LEVEL
	   Confirmation	 level,	 LEVEL	must  be  one  of  ask,	 no,  yes   or
	   unsafe-yes.	Can  be	specified more than once. If --yes or --no are
	   also	given, the value of the	last  --confirm-level  is  taken  into
	   account. This is equivalent to setting  $OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL`.

       --criteria=CRITERIA
	   Specify  user  preferences  for  dependency	solving	 for this run.
	   Overrides	   $OPAMCRITERIA,	 $OPAMFIXUPCRITERIA	   and
	   $OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA.  For  details	on the supported language, and
	   the	       external		solvers		available,	   see
	   http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/External_solvers.html. A general guide to
	   using      solver	  preferences	   can	   be	  found	    at
	   http://www.dicosmo.org/Articles/usercriteria.pdf.

       --cudf=FILENAME
	   Debug option:  Save	the  CUDF  requests  sent  to  the  solver  to
	   FILENAME-<n>.cudf  where  <n> is the	n-th call to the solver	during
	   the opam run.

       --debug
	   Print debug message	to  stderr.  This  is  equivalent  to  setting
	   $OPAMDEBUG to "true".

       --debug-level=LEVEL
	   Like	 --debug,  but allows specifying the debug level (--debug sets
	   it to 1). Equivalent	to setting $OPAMDEBUG to a positive integer.

       --git-version
	   Print the git version of  opam,  if	set  (i.e.  you	 are  using  a
	   development version), and exit.

       --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
	   Show	 this  help  in	format FMT. The	value FMT must be one of auto,
	   pager, groff	or plain. With auto, the  format  is  pager  or	 plain
	   whenever the	TERM env var is	dumb or	undefined.

       --ignore-pin-depends
	   Ignore  extra  pins	required  by  packages that get	pinned,	either
	   manually through opam pin or	through	 opam  install	DIR.  This  is
	   equivalent to setting IGNOREPINDEPENDS=true.

       --json=FILENAME
	   Save	 the  results  of the opam run in a computer-readable file. If
	   the filename	contains the character `%', it will be replaced	by  an
	   index  that	doesn't	overwrite an existing file. Similar to setting
	   the $OPAMJSON variable.

       --no
	   Answer no to	all opam yes/no	questions without prompting. See  also
	   --confirm-level. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMNO to "true".

       --no-aspcud
	   Removed in 2.1.

       --no-auto-upgrade
	   When	 configuring  or  updating a repository	that is	written	for an
	   earlier opam	version	(1.2), opam  internally	 converts  it  to  the
	   current   format.   This   disables	 this	behaviour.  Note  that
	   repositories	should define their format version in a	'repo' file at
	   their root, or they will be assumed to be in	the older  format.  It
	   is,	in  any	 case, preferable to upgrade the repositories manually
	   using opam admin upgrade [--mirror URL] when	possible.

       -q, --quiet
	   Disables --verbose.

       --root=ROOT
	   Use ROOT as the current root	path. This is  equivalent  to  setting
	   $OPAMROOT to	ROOT.

       --safe, --readonly
	   Make	 sure  nothing	will  be  automatically	 updated or rewritten.
	   Useful for calling from completion scripts, for example. Will  fail
	   whenever  such  an  operation  is  needed ; also avoids waiting for
	   locks, skips	interactive questions  and  overrides  the  $OPAMDEBUG
	   variable. This is equivalent	to set environment variable $OPAMSAFE.

       --solver=CMD
	   Specify  the	 CUDF solver to	use for	resolving package installation
	   problems. This is either a predefined solver	(this version of  opam
	   supports	       builtin-mccs+lp(),	    builtin-mccs+glpk,
	   builtin-dummy-z3-solver,    builtin-0install,     aspcud,	 mccs,
	   aspcud-old,	packup),  or  a	custom command that should contain the
	   variables  %{input}%,  %{output}%,  %{criteria}%,  and   optionally
	   %{timeout}%.	This is	equivalent to setting $OPAMEXTERNALSOLVER.

       --strict
	   Fail	 whenever  an  error  is  found	 in  a package definition or a
	   configuration  file.	 The  default  is  to  continue	 silently   if
	   possible.

       --switch=SWITCH
	   Use	SWITCH	as  the	current	compiler switch. This is equivalent to
	   setting $OPAMSWITCH to SWITCH.

       --use-internal-solver
	   Disable any	external  solver,  and	use  the  built-in  one	 (this
	   requires  that opam has been	compiled with a	built-in solver). This
	   is equivalent to setting $OPAMNOASPCUD or $OPAMUSEINTERNALSOLVER.

       -v, --verbose
	   Be more verbose. One	-v shows all package commands, repeat to  also
	   display  commands  called  internally  (e.g.	tar, curl, patch etc.)
	   Repeating n times is	equivalent to setting $OPAMVERBOSE to "n".

       --version
	   Show	version	information.

       -w, --working-dir
	   Whenever  updating  packages	  that	 are   bound   to   a	local,
	   version-controlled  directory,  update to the current working state
	   of their source instead of the last committed  state,  or  the  ref
	   they	are pointing to. As source directory is	copied as it is, if it
	   isn't  clean	 it  may  result  on  a	 opam build failure. This only
	   affects packages explicitly listed on the command-line. It can also
	   be set with $OPAMWORKINGDIR.

       -y, --yes
	   Answer yes to all opam yes/no questions without prompting. See also
	   --confirm-level. This is equivalent to setting $OPAMYES to "true".

ENVIRONMENT
       Opam makes use  of  the	environment  variables	listed	here.  Boolean
       variables  should  be  set to "0", "no",	"false"	or the empty string to
       disable,	"1", "yes" or "true" to	enable.

       OPAMALLPARENS surround all filters with parenthesis.

       OPAMASSUMEDEPEXTS see option `--assume-depexts'.

       OPAMAUTOREMOVE see remove option	`--auto-remove'.

       OPAMBESTEFFORT see option `--best-effort'.

       OPAMBESTEFFORTPREFIXCRITERIA sets the string that must be prepended  to
       the criteria when the `--best-effort' option is set, and	is expected to
       maximise	the `opam-query' property in the solution.

       OPAMBUILDDOC Removed in 2.1.

       OPAMBUILDTEST Removed in	2.1.

       OPAMCLI see option `--cli'.

       OPAMCOLOR  when	set  to	 always	or never, sets a default value for the
       `--color' option.

       OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL	see  option  `--confirm-level`.	 OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL  has
       priority	over OPAMYES and OPAMNO.

       OPAMCRITERIA  specifies	user  preferences  for dependency solving. The
       default value depends on	the solver version,  use  `config  report'  to
       know the	current	setting. See also option --criteria.

       OPAMCUDFFILE save the cudf graph	to file-actions-explicit.dot.

       OPAMCUDFTRIM  controls  the filtering of	unrelated packages during CUDF
       preprocessing.

       OPAMCURL	can be used to select a	given 'curl'  program.	See  OPAMFETCH
       for more	options.

       OPAMDEBUG see options `--debug' and `--debug-level'.

       OPAMDEBUGSECTIONS  if set, limits debug messages	to the space-separated
       list of sections. Sections can optionally have a	specific  debug	 level
       (for   example,	 CLIENT:2   or	 CLIENT	 CUDF:2),  but	otherwise  use
       `--debug-level'.

       OPAMDIGDEPTH defines how	aggressive the	lookup	for  conflicts	during
       CUDF preprocessing is.

       OPAMDOWNLOADJOBS	sets the maximum number	of simultaneous	downloads.

       OPAMDROPWORKINGDIR   overrides	packages   previously	updated	  with
       --working-dir on	update.	Without	this variable  set,  opam  would  keep
       them unchanged unless explicitly	named on the command-line.

       OPAMDRYRUN see option `--dry-run'.

       OPAMEDITOR  sets	 the  editor  to  use for opam file editing, overrides
       $EDITOR and $VISUAL.

       OPAMERRLOGLEN sets the number of	log lines printed when	a  sub-process
       fails. 0	to print all.

       OPAMEXTERNALSOLVER see option `--solver'.

       OPAMFAKE	see option `--fake'.

       OPAMFETCH  specifies  how to download files: either `wget', `curl' or a
       custom	command	  where	  variables   %{url}%,	 %{out}%,   %{retry}%,
       %{compress}%   and   %{checksum}%   will	 be  replaced.	Overrides  the
       'download-command' value	from the main config file.

       OPAMFIXUPCRITERIA same as OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA, but  specific  to	 fixup
       and reinstall.

       OPAMIGNORECONSTRAINTS see install option	`--ignore-constraints-on'.

       OPAMIGNOREPINDEPENDS see	option `--ignore-pin-depends'.

       OPAMINPLACEBUILD	see option `--inplace-build'.

       OPAMJOBS	sets the maximum number	of parallel workers to run.

       OPAMJSON	 log json output to the	given file (use	character `%' to index
       the files).

       OPAMKEEPBUILDDIR	see install option `--keep-build-dir'.

       OPAMKEEPLOGS tells opam to not remove some temporary command  logs  and
       some  backups. This skips some finalisers and may also help to get more
       reliable	backtraces.

       OPAMLOCKED combination of `--locked' and	`--lock-suffix'	options.

       OPAMLOGS	logdir sets log	directory, default is a	temporary directory in
       /tmp

       OPAMMAKECMD set the system make command to use.

       OPAMMERGEOUT merge process outputs, stderr on stdout.

       OPAMNO answer  no  to  any  question  asked,  see  options  `--no`  and
       `--confirm-level`.  OPAMNO  is  ignored	if  either OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL or
       OPAMYES is set.

       OPAMNOAGGREGATE with `opam admin	check',	don't aggregate	packages.

       OPAMNOASPCUD Deprecated.

       OPAMNOAUTOUPGRADE disables automatic internal upgrade  of  repositories
       in an earlier format to the current one,	on 'update' or 'init'.

       OPAMNOCHECKSUMS enables option --no-checksums when available.

       OPAMNODEPEXTS   disables	  system  dependencies	handling,  see	option
       `--no-depexts'.

       OPAMNOENVNOTICE Internal.

       OPAMNOSELFUPGRADE see option `--no-self-upgrade'

       OPAMPINKINDAUTO sets whether version control systems should be detected
       when pinning to a local path. Enabled by	default	since 1.3.0.

       OPAMPRECISETRACKING fine	grain tracking of directories.

       OPAMPREPRO set this  to	false  to  disable  CUDF  preprocessing.  Less
       efficient, but might help debugging solver issue.

       OPAMREPOSITORYTARRING  internally  store	 the  repositories  as	tar.gz
       files. This can be much faster on filesystems that don't	cope well with
       scanning	large trees but	have good caching in  /tmp.  However  this  is
       slower in the general case.

       OPAMREQUIRECHECKSUMS    Enables	 option	  `--require-checksums'	  when
       available (e.g. for `opam install').

       OPAMRETRIES sets	the number of tries before failing downloads.

       OPAMREUSEBUILDDIR see option `--reuse-build-dir'.

       OPAMROOT	see option `--root'. This is automatically set	by  `opam  env
       --root=DIR --set-root'.

       OPAMROOTISOK don't complain when	running	as root.

       OPAMSAFE	see option `--safe'.

       OPAMSHOW	see option `--show'.

       OPAMSKIPUPDATE see option `--skip-updates'.

       OPAMSKIPVERSIONCHECKS   bypasses	  some	version	 checks.  Unsafe,  for
       compatibility testing only.

       OPAMSOLVERALLOWSUBOPTIMAL (default `true') allows some solvers to still
       return a	solution when they reach timeout; while	the  solution  remains
       assured	to  be	consistent, there is no	guarantee in this case that it
       fits the	expected optimisation criteria.	If `true',  opam  willcontinue
       with  a	warning,  if `false' a timeout is an error. Currently only the
       builtin-z3 backend handles this degraded	case.

       OPAMSOLVERTIMEOUT change	the time allowance of the solver.  Default  is
       60.0,  set  to  0  for unlimited. Note that all solvers may not support
       this option.

       OPAMSTATS display stats at the end of command.

       OPAMSTATUSLINE display a	dynamic	status line showing  what's  currently
       going on	on the terminal. (one of one of	always,	never or auto)

       OPAMSTRICT fail on inconsistencies (file	reading, switch	import,	etc.).

       OPAMSWITCH  see	option	`--switch'.  Automatically  set	 by  `opam env
       --switch=SWITCH --set-switch'.

       OPAMUNLOCKBASE see install option `--unlock-base'.

       OPAMUPGRADECRITERIA specifies user preferences for  dependency  solving
       when  performing	an upgrade. Overrides OPAMCRITERIA in upgrades if both
       are set.	See also option	--criteria.

       OPAMUSEINTERNALSOLVER see option	`--use-internal-solver'.

       OPAMUSEOPENSSL Removed in 2.2.

       OPAMUTF8	use UTF8 characters in output (one of one of always, never  or
       auto). By default `auto', which is determined from the locale).

       OPAMUTF8MSGS  use  extended  UTF8 characters (camels) in	opam messages.
       Implies OPAMUTF8. This is set by	default	on macOS only.

       OPAMVALIDATIONHOOK if set, uses the `%{hook%}' command to  validate  an
       opam repository update.

       OPAMVERBOSE see option `--verbose'.

       OPAMVERBOSEON see option	--verbose-on

       OPAMVERSIONLAGPOWER do not use.

       OPAMWITHDEVSETUP	see install option `--with-dev-setup'.

       OPAMWITHDOC see install option `--with-doc'.

       OPAMWITHTEST see	install	option `--with-test.

       OPAMWORKINGDIR see option `--working-dir'.

       OPAMYES see options `--yes' and `--confirm-level`. OPAMYES has priority
       over OPAMNO and is ignored if OPAMCONFIRMLEVEL is set.

       OPAMVAR_var   overrides	 the   contents	  of  the  variable  var  when
       substituting `%{var}%` strings in `opam`	files.

       OPAMVAR_package_var overrides the contents of the variable  package:var
       when substituting `%{package:var}%` strings in `opam` files.

CLI VERSION
       All  scripts and	programmatic invocations of opam should	use `--cli' in
       order to	ensure that they work seamlessly with future versions  of  the
       opam  client.  Additionally,  blog  posts  or  other  documentation can
       benefit,	as it prevents information from	becoming stale.

       Although	opam only supports roots (~/.opam/) for	the  current  version,
       it does provide backwards compatibility for its command-line interface.

       Since  CLI  version  support was	only added in opam 2.1,	use OPAMCLI to
       select 2.0 support (as opam 2.0 will just ignore	it),  and  `--cli=2.1'
       for  2.1	(or later) versions, since an environment variable controlling
       the parsing of syntax is	brittle. To this end, opam displays a  warning
       if  OPAMCLI  specifies  a  valid	 version  other	 than 2.0, and also if
       `--cli=2.0' is specified.

       The command-line	version	is selected by using the `--cli' option	or the
       OPAMCLI environment variable. `--cli' may be specified  morethan	 once,
       where  the last instance	takes precedence. OPAMCLI is only inspected if
       `--cli' is not given.

EXIT STATUS
       As an exception to the following, the `exec' command returns 127	if the
       command was not found or	couldn't be executed, and the  command's  exit
       value otherwise.

       0   Success, or true for	boolean	queries.

       1   False.  Returned when a boolean return value	is expected, e.g. when
	   running with	--check, or for	queries	like opam lint.

       2   Bad command-line arguments, or command-line arguments  pointing  to
	   an invalid context (e.g. file not following the expected format).

       5   Not	found.	You requested something	(package, version, repository,
	   etc.) that couldn't be found.

       10  Aborted. The	operation required confirmation, which wasn't given.

       15  Could not acquire the locks required	for the	operation.

       20  There is no solution	to the user request. This  can	be  caused  by
	   asking to install two incompatible packages,	for example.

       30  Error  in  package  definition,  or	other  metadata	 files.	 Using
	   --strict raises this	error more often.

       31  Package script error. Some package  operations  were	 unsuccessful.
	   This	 may  be  an  error in the packages or an incompatibility with
	   your	system.	This can be a partial error.

       40  Sync	error. Could not fetch some remotes from the network. This can
	   be a	partial	error.

       50  Configuration error.	Opam or	 system	 configuration	doesn't	 allow
	   operation, and needs	fixing.

       60  Solver  failure. The	solver failed to return	a sound	answer.	It can
	   be due  to  a  broken  external  solver,  or	 an  error  in	solver
	   configuration.

       99  Internal  error.  Something went wrong, likely due to a bug in opam
	   itself.

       130 User	interrupt. SIGINT was received,	 generally  due	 to  the  user
	   pressing Ctrl-C.

       0   on success.

       123 on indiscriminate errors reported on	standard error.

       124 on command line parsing errors.

       125 on unexpected internal errors (bugs).
