NAME
       rpmgraph - Display RPM Package Dependency Graph

SYNOPSIS
       rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE ...


DESCRIPTION
       rpmgraph	 uses PACKAGE_FILE arguments to generate a package dependency
       graph. Each PACKAGE_FILE argument is read and added to an rpm transac-
       tion  set.  The	elements of the transaction set are partially ordered
       using a topological sort. The  partially	 ordered  elements  are	 then
       printed to standard output.

       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 par-
       ent of a given package is the package’s last prerequisite.

       The output is in dot(1) directed graph format, and can be displayed or
       printed using the dotty graph editor from the graphviz package.	There
       are  no	rpmgraph  specific options, only common rpm options.  See the
       rpmgraph usage message for what is currently implemented.
