NAME
dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space
SYNOPSIS
dpigs [options]
DESCRIPTION
dpigs sorts the installed packages by size and outputs the largest ones. Per default dpigs displays the largest 10 packages. You can change this value by using the -n option (see "OPTIONS"). The information is taken from the dpkg status file with grep-status(1).
OPTIONS
-h, --help Display some usage information and exit. -n, --lines=N Display the N largest packages on the system (default 10). -s, --status=FILE Use FILE instead of the default dpkg status file (which is /var/lib/dpkg/status currently). -S, --source Display the largest source packages of binary packages installed on the system.
