# NAME

`bdep-status` – print status of project and/or its dependencies

# SYNOPSIS

`bdep status [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [dep-spec...]`

`dep-spec = pkg[/ver]
cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
pkg-spec = (pkg | (--directory|-d pkg-dir))... | prj-spec
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir`

# DESCRIPTION

The `status` command prints the status of project packages and/or their dependencies in one or more build configurations.

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See `bdep-projects-configs(1)` for details on specifying projects and configurations.

Note that if a package that is specified as a `pkg` name (as opposed to as a directory with `--directory|-d`) belongs to the project and is initialized in any of the specified configurations, then it is interpreted as `pkg-spec`. Otherwise, it is interpreted as `dep-spec`.

If no `dep-spec` arguments are specified, then `status` prints the status of the project's packages. Otherwise, the status of the specified dependency packages is printed. Additionally, the status of immediate or all dependencies of the above packages can be printed by specifying the `--immediate|-i` or `--recursive|-r` options, respectively.

In the default output format (see the `--stdout-format` common option), the status of each package is printed on a separate line. Note that the status is written to `stdout`, not `stderr`. The semantics of `dep-spec` and the format of the status line are described in `bpkg-pkg-status(1)`.

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` `configuration_package_status`:

    struct configuration
    {
      uint64_t         id;
      string           path;
      optional<string> name;
    };

    struct configuration_package_status
    {
      configuration          configuration;
      vector<package_status> packages;
    };

For example:

    [
      {
        "configuration": {
          "id": 1,
          "path": "/tmp/hello-gcc",
          "name": "gcc"
        },
        "packages": [
          {
            "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 `bdep-common-options(1)` for details on the overall properties of this format and the semantics of the `struct` serialization.

Refer to the `list` subcommand of `bdep-config(1)` for details on the `struct` `configuration` members. Refer to `bpkg-pkg-status(1)` for the definition of `struct` `package_status`. Note also that in the `json` output format certain conditions (no associated configurations, no initialized packages, etc) are not treated as errors but instead result in valid output. The uninitialized packages have the special `uninitialized` `status` value.

# STATUS OPTIONS

`--all`|`-a`
  Use all build configurations.
`--config`|`-c` `dir`

`--directory`|`-d` `dir`
  Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.
`--config-name`|`-n` `name`

# DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES

See `bdep-default-options-files(1)` for an overview of the default options files. For the `status` command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

    bdep.options
    bdep-status.options

The following `status` command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

    --directory|-d
