NAME
madison − Utility to display information about packages
SYNOPSIS
madison [ options ] package
DESCRIPTION
madison is a utility to display information about packages, specificaly what suites they are in and for which architectures.
OPTIONS
-a/--architecture=architecture
Only list package information for the listed architecture(s).
-b/--binary-type=binary type
Only show package information for the binary type (’deb’ or ’udeb’).
-c/--component=component
Only list package information for the listed component(s).
-g/--greaterorequal
-G/--greaterthan
Determine the highest version of each package in the target suite (which is forced to just unstable if one was not specificed) and, in addition to the normal output, also print a line suitable for sending in a reply to a buildd as a ’dep-wait’ command. For -g/--greaterorequal, the versioned dependency is a >= one, e.g.
dep-retry libgdbm-dev (>= 1.8.3-2)
And for -G/--greaterthan, the versioned dependency is a >> one, e.g.
dep-retry libflac-dev (>> 1.1.0-10)
-r/--regex
Treat the package argument as a regex, rather than doing an exact search.
-s/--suite=suite
Only list package information for the suite(s) listed.
-S/--source-and-binary
For each package which is a source package, also show information about the binary packages it produces.
-h/--help
Show help and then exit.
DIAGNOSTICS
madison returns zero on normal operation, non-zero on error.
