RAPT-FILE(1) RAPT-FILE(1)
NAME
rapt-file - APT package searching utility -- search remotely
SYNOPSIS
rapt-file [ options ] [ action ] [ pattern ]
DESCRIPTION
rapt-file is a command line tool for searching files in packages for the APT package management system. It differs from apt-file in that
it works with remote package indices, so it doesn't need to download full Contents files.
find Alias for search.
list List the contents of a package matching the pattern pattern. This action is very close to the dpkg -L command except the package
does not need to be installed or fetched.
search Search in which package a file is included. A list of all packages containing the pattern pattern is returned.
rapt-file will only search for filenames, not directory names. This is due to the format of the Contents files it searches.
show Alias for list.
OPTIONS
-a, --architecture architecture
Sets architecture to architecture. This option is useful if you search a package for a different architecture from the one installed
on your system. It determines how the $ARCH variable in sources.list is expanded (but it does not influence the search in any other
way).
-l, --package-only
Only display package name; do not display file names.
-v, --verbose
Run rapt-file in verbose mode.
-h, --help
Display a short help screen.
FILES
/etc/apt/sources.list
Locations to fetch package contents from.
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Directory with additional sources.list snippets
