NAME

       apt-cudf - CUDF solver integration for APT

SYNOPSIS

       solvername

DESCRIPTION

       apt-cudf translates back and forth among a CUDF-based dependency solver and the protocol used by APT to talk with external dependency
       solvers. apt-cudf therefore allows to use any CUDF solver as an external solver for APT.

       apt-cudf relies on its "argv[0]" name to find the CUDF solver to invoke.  In common setups, you should have a CUDF solver specification
       file under /usr/share/cudf/solvers/ for each installed CUDF solver. To use one such solver with APT, you should create a symbolic link
       pointing to /usr/bin/apt-cudf under /usr/lib/apt/solvers/ and call it with the name of the CUDF solver you want to use.

OPTIONS

       -v
       --verbose
	   Print debugging information during operation. Can be repeated.

       -h
       --help
	   Show usage information and exit.

       --version
	   Show program's version and exit.

       --dump
	   Dump the cudf universe and solution

       --noop
	   Dump the cudf universe and solution and exit. This is useful to generate a cudf universe from a edsp file

       --conf
	   Use a configuration file. Default in /etc/apt-cudf.conf

       -s <solver>
       --solver <solver>
	   Specify the external solver to use.

       -e
       --explain
	   Print a human-readable summary of the solution.

       --native-arch
	   Speficy the native architecture to be used in the edsp -> cudf translation. By default apt-cudf uses apt-config to deduce the native
	   architecture. This option is useful if the edsp was generated on a machine with a different architecture.

       --foreign-archs
	   A comma-separated list of foreign architectures to be used in the edsp -> cudf translation
