.SH SYNOPSIS

\fIpakt-dry \fB-R\fR (package ... category ...) ...

.SH DESCRIPTION
pakt-dry is a pakt suite script responsible for querying and manipulating category files without performing actual pacman transactions.

You can either query category files by using the same plus character syntax as in pakt or giving a file path. In the latter case, it's essentially a cat action.

To look up the category syntax, see \fBpakt\fR(1).

.SH OPTIONS
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
.br
       Shows this man page.

\fB-S\fR, \fB--sync\fR
.br
       Performs the same category assignment as when installing packages with pakt
.br
       but no packages will be installed.

\fB-R\fR, \fB--remove\fR
.br
       Performs the same category deletion as when uninstalling packages with pakt
.br
       but no packages will be uninstalled.

No arguments at all will take you to this man page, if the \fBman\fR command is available.

.SH EXAMPLES
\fIpakt-dry\fR +core,cli
.br
       Prints out the contents of the files \fIcore\fR and \fIcli\fR in the category directory,
.br
       so either \fI~/.local/share/pakt/\fR or \fI$XDG_DATA_HOME/pakt/\fR, if \fI$XDG_DATA_HOME\fR is set.

\fIpakt-dry\fR +core,cli ~/Documents/arch_stuff.txt
.br
       Besides the former action, also prints out the contents of \fI~/Documents/arch_stuff.txt\fR.

\fIpakt-dry\fR -S neovim +core,cli,dev
.br
       Assigns neovim to the categories \fBcore\fR, \fBcli\fR and \fBdev\fR, regardless whether
.br
       neovim is actually installed.

\fIpakt-dry\fR -R neovim +dev
.br
       Removes neovim from category \fBdev\fR only but keeps neovim on the system, if
.br
       it was installed before.
