# NAME

`bpkg-pkg-status` – print package status

# SYNOPSIS

`bpkg pkg-status|status [options] [pkg[/ver]...]`

# DESCRIPTION

The `pkg-status` command prints the status of the specified packages or, if `ver` is specified, package versions. If no packages were specified, then `pkg-status` prints the status of all the held packages (which are the packages that were explicitly built; see `bpkg-pkg-build(1)`). The latter mode can be modified to print the status of all the packages by specifying the `--all|-a` option. Additionally, the status of immediate or all dependencies (and dependency constraints) of the above packages can be printed by specifying the `--immediate|-i` or `--recursive|-r` options, respectively. Note that the status is written to `stdout`, not `stderr`.

The default output format (see the `--stdout-format` common option) is regular with components separated with spaces. Each line starts with the package name followed by one of the status words listed below. Some of them can be optionally followed by '`,`' (no spaces) and a sub-status word. Lines corresponding to dependencies from linked configurations will additionally mention the configuration directory in square brackets after the package name. Lines corresponding to dependency constraints will have the package name prefixed with '`?`'.

`unknown`
  Package is not part of the configuration nor available from any of the repositories.
`available`
  Package is not part of the configuration but is available from one of the repositories.
`fetched`
  Package is part of the configuration and is fetched.
`unpacked`
  Package is part of the configuration and is unpacked.
`configured`
  Package is part of the configuration and is configured. May be followed by the `system` sub-status indicating a package coming from the system. The version of such a system package (described below) may be the special '`*`' value indicating a wildcard version.
`broken`
  Package is part of the configuration and is broken (broken packages can only be purged; see `bpkg-pkg-purge(1)`).

If only the package name was specified without the package version, then the `available` status word is followed by the list of available versions. Versions that are only available for up/down-grading are printed in '`[]`' (such version are only available as dependencies from prerequisite repositories of other repositories). If the `--system` option is specified, then the last version in this list may have the `sys:` prefix indicating an available system version. Such a system version may be the special '`?`' value indicating that a package may or may not be available from the system and that its version is unknown.

The `fetched`, `unpacked`, `configured`, and `broken` status words are followed by the version of the package. If the package version was specified, then the `unknown` status word is also followed by the version.

If the status is `fetched`, `unpacked`, `configured`, or `broken` and newer versions are available, then the package version is followed by the `available` status word and the list of newer versions. To instead see a list of all versions, including the older ones, specify the `--old-available|-o` option. In this case the currently selected version is printed in '`()`'.

If the package name was specified with the version, then only the status (such as, `configured`, `available`, etc.) of this version is considered.

If a package is being held, then its name is printed prefixed with '`!`'. Similarly, if a package version is being held, then the version is printed prefixed with '`!`'. Held packages and held versions were selected by the user and are not automatically dropped and upgraded, respectively.

Below are some examples, assuming the configuration has `libfoo` `1.0.0` configured and held (both package and version) as well as `libfoo` `1.1.0` and `1.1.1` available from source and `1.1.0` from the system.

    bpkg status libbar
    libbar unknown

    bpkg status libbar/1.0.0
    libbar unknown 1.0.0

    bpkg status libfoo/1.0.0
    !libfoo configured !1.0.0

    bpkg status libfoo/1.1.0
    libfoo available 1.1.0

    bpkg status --system libfoo/1.1.0
    libfoo available 1.1.0 sys:1.1.0

    bpkg status libfoo
    !libfoo configured !1.0.0 available 1.1.0 1.1.1

    bpkg status libfoo/1.1.1 libbar
    libfoo available 1.1.1
    libbar unknown

Assuming now that we dropped `libfoo` from the configuration:

    bpkg status libfoo/1.0.0
    libfoo unknown 1.0.0

    bpkg status libfoo
    libfoo available 1.1.0 1.1.1

And assuming now that we built `libfoo` as a system package with the wildcard version:

    bpkg status libfoo
    !libfoo configured,system !* available 1.1.0 1.1.1

Another example of the status output this time including dependencies and constraints:

    bpkg status -r libbaz
    !libbaz configured 1.0.0
      libfoo configured 1.0.0
        bison [.bpkg/host/] configured 1.0.0
      libbar configured 2.0.0
      ?bison [.bpkg/host/] configured 1.0.0

If the output format is `json`, then the output is a JSON array of objects which are the serialized representation of the following C++ `struct` `package_status`:

    struct available_version
    {
      string version;
      bool   system;
      bool   dependency;
    };

    struct package_status
    {
      string                    name;
      optional<string>          configuration;
      optional<string>          version_constraint;
      string                    status;
      optional<string>          sub_status;
      optional<string>          version;
      bool                      hold_package;
      bool                      hold_version;
      vector<available_version> available_versions;
      vector<package_status>    dependencies;
      vector<package_status>    constraints;
    };

For example:

    [
      {
        "name": "hello",
        "status": "configured",
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "hold_package": true,
        "available_versions": [
          {
            "version": "1.0.1"
          },
          {
            "version": "2.0.0"
          }
        ],
        "dependencies": [
          {
            "name": "libhello",
            "status": "configured",
            "version": "1.0.2",
          }
        ]
      }
    ]

See the JSON OUTPUT section in `bpkg-common-options(1)` for details on the overall properties of this format and the semantics of the `struct` serialization.

In `package_status`, the `configuration` member contains the absolute directory of a linked configuration if this package resides in a linked configuration. The `version_constraint` member is present only if the `--version-constraint` option is specified. The `version` member is absent if the `status` member is `unknown` or `available` and no package version is specified on the command line. If the `sub_status` member is `system`, then the `version` member can be special `*`. The `dependencies` and `constraints` members are present only if the `--immediate|-i` or `--recursive|-r` options are specified.

In `available_version`, if the `system` member is `true`, then this version is available from the system, in which case the `version` member can be special `?` or `*`. If the `dependency` member is `true`, then this version is only available as a dependency from prerequisite repositories of other repositories.
