+.SH NAME
+dpkg\-query \- a tool to query the dpkg database
+.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dpkg\-query
+.RI [ option "...] " command
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBdpkg\-query\fP is a tool to show information about packages listed in
+the \fBdpkg\fP database.
+.
+.SH COMMANDS
+.TP
+.BR \-l ", " \-\-list " [\fIpackage-name-pattern\fP...]"
+List all known packages matching one or more patterns, regardless of their
+status, which includes any real or virtual package referenced in any
+dependency relationship field (such as \fBBreaks\fP, \fBEnhances\fP, etc.).
+If no \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP is given, list all packages in
+\fI%ADMINDIR%/status\fP, excluding the ones marked as not-installed (i.e.
+those which have been previously purged).
+Normal shell wildcard characters are allowed in \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP.
+Please note you will probably have to quote \fIpackage-name-pattern\fP to
+prevent the shell from performing filename expansion.
+For example this will list all package names starting with \*(lqlibc6\*(rq:
+
+.nf
+  \fBdpkg\-query \-l 'libc6*'\fP
+.fi
+
+The first three columns of the output show the desired action, the package
+status, and errors, in that order.
+
+Desired action:
+.nf
+  u = Unknown
+  i = Install
+  h = Hold
+  r = Remove
+  p = Purge
+.fi
+
+Package status:
+.nf
+  n = Not-installed
+  c = Config-files
+  H = Half-installed
+  U = Unpacked
+  F = Half-configured
+  W = Triggers-awaiting
+  t = Triggers-pending
+  i = Installed
+.fi
+
+Error flags:
+.nf
+  <empty> = (none)
+  R = Reinst-required
+.fi
+
+An uppercase status or error letter indicates the package is likely to
+cause severe problems. Please refer to \fBdpkg\fP(1) for information
+about the above states and flags.
+
+The output format of this option is not configurable, but varies
+automatically to fit the terminal width. It is intended for human
+readers, and is not easily machine-readable. See \fB\-W\fP (\fB\-\-show\fP)
+and \fB\-\-showformat\fP for a way to configure the output format.
+.TP
+.BR \-W ", " \-\-show " [\fIpackage-name-pattern\fP...]"
+Just like the \fB\-\-list\fP option this will list all packages matching
+the given pattern. However the output can be customized using the
+\fB\-\-showformat\fP option.
+The default output format gives one line per matching package, each line
+having the name (extended with the architecture qualifier for
+\fBMulti\-Arch\fP \fBsame\fP packages) and installed version of the package,
+separated by a tab.
+.TP
+.BR \-s ", " \-\-status " [\fIpackage-name\fP...]"
+Report status of specified package. This just displays the entry in
+the installed package status database.
+If no \fIpackage-name\fP is specified it will display all package entries
+in the status database (since dpkg 1.19.1).
+When multiple \fIpackage-name\fP entries are listed, the requested status
+entries are separated by an empty line, with the same order as specified
+on the argument list.
+.TP
+.BR \-L ", " \-\-listfiles " \fIpackage-name\fP..."
+List files installed to your system from \fIpackage-name\fP. When multiple
+\fIpackage-name\fP are listed, the requested lists of files are separated
+by an empty line, with the same order as specified on the argument list.
+However, note that files created by package-specific installation-scripts
+are not listed.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-control\-list " \fIpackage-name\fP
+List control files installed to your system from \fIpackage-name\fP
+(since dpkg 1.16.5).
+These can be used as input arguments to \fB\-\-control\-show\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-control\-show " \fIpackage-name\fP \fIcontrol-file\fP"
+Print the \fIcontrol-file\fP installed to your system from \fIpackage-name\fP
+to the standard output (since dpkg 1.16.5).
+.TP
+.BR \-c ", " \-\-control\-path " \fIpackage-name\fP [\fIcontrol-file\fP]"
+List paths for control files installed to your system from \fIpackage-name\fP
+(since dpkg 1.15.4).
+If \fIcontrol-file\fP is specified then only list the path for that control
+file if it is present.
+
+\fBWarning\fP: this command is deprecated as it gives direct access to the
+internal dpkg database, please switch to use \fB\-\-control\-list\fP and
+\fB\-\-control\-show\fP instead for all cases where those commands might
+give the same end result. Although, as long as there is still at least
+one case where this command is needed (i.e. when having to remove a
+damaging postrm maintainer script), and while there is no good solution
+for that, this command will not get removed.
+.TP
+.BR \-S ", " \-\-search " \fIfilename-search-pattern\fP..."
+Search for packages that own files corresponding to the given pattern.
+Standard shell wildcard characters can be used in the pattern, where
+asterisk (\fB*\fP) and question mark (\fB?\fP) will match a slash,
+and backslash (\fB\\\fP) will be used as an escape character.
+
+If the first character in the \fIfilename-search-pattern\fP is none of
+‘\fB*[?/\fP’ then it will be considered a substring match and will be
+implicitly surrounded by ‘\fB*\fP’ (as in
+\fB*\fP\fIfilename-search-pattern\fP\fB*\fP).
+If the subsequent string contains any of ‘\fB*[?\\\fP’, then it will
+handled like a glob pattern, otherwise any trailing ‘\fB/\fP’ or
+‘\fB/.\fP’ will be removed and a literal path lookup will be performed.
+
+This command will not list extra files created by maintainer scripts,
+nor will it list alternatives.
+.TP
+.BR \-p ", " \-\-print\-avail " [\fIpackage-name\fP...]"
+Display details about packages, as found in \fI%ADMINDIR%/available\fP.
+If no \fIpackage-name\fP is specified, it will display all package entries
+in the \fIavailable\fP database (since dpkg 1.19.1).
+When multiple \fIpackage-name\fP are listed, the requested \fIavailable\fP
+entries are separated by an empty line, with the same order as specified
+on the argument list.
+
+Users of APT-based frontends
+should use \fBapt\-cache show\fP \fIpackage-name\fP instead
+as the \fIavailable\fP file is only kept up-to-date when
+using \fBdselect\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-? ", " \-\-help
+Show the usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+Show the version and exit.
+.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-\-admindir= dir
+Change the location of the \fBdpkg\fR database. The default location is
+\fI%ADMINDIR%\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-\-load\-avail
+Also load the available file when using the \fB\-\-show\fP and \fB\-\-list\fP
+commands, which now default to only querying the status file
+(since dpkg 1.16.2).
+.TP
+.B \-\-no\-pager
+Disables the use of any pager when showing information (since dpkg 1.19.2).
+.TP
+.BR \-f ", " \-\-showformat=\fIformat\fR
+This option is used to specify the format of the output \fB\-\-show\fP
+will produce (short option since dpkg 1.13.1).
+The format is a string that will be output for each package listed.
+
+In the format string, “\fB\e\fP” introduces escapes:
+
+.nf
+    \fB\en\fP  newline
+    \fB\er\fP  carriage return
+    \fB\et\fP  tab
+.fi
+
+“\fB\e\fP” before any other character suppresses any special
+meaning of the following character, which is useful for “\fB\e\fP”
+and “\fB$\fP”.
+
+Package information can be included by inserting
+variable references to package fields using the syntax
+“\fB${\fP\fIfield\fR[\fB;\fP\fIwidth\fR]\fB}\fP”. Fields are
+printed right-aligned unless the width is negative in which case left
+alignment will be used. The following \fIfield\fRs are recognized but
+they are not necessarily available in the status file (only internal
+fields or fields stored in the binary package end up in it):
+
+.nf

+    \fBBugs\fP
+    \fBConffiles\fP (internal)

+.fi
+
+The following are virtual fields, generated by \fBdpkg\-query\fP from
+values from other fields (note that these do not use valid names for
+fields in control files):
+.RS
+.TP
+.B binary:Package
+It contains the binary package name with a possible architecture qualifier
+like “libc6:amd64” (since dpkg 1.16.2).
+An architecture qualifier will be present to make the package name unambiguous,
+for example if the package has a \fBMulti\-Arch\fP field with a value of
+\fBsame\fP or the package is of a foreign architecture.
+.TP
+.B binary:Synopsis
+It contains the package short description (since dpkg 1.19.1).
+.TP
+.B binary:Summary
+This is an alias for \fBbinary:Synopsis\fP (since dpkg 1.16.2).
+.TP
+.B db:Status\-Abbrev
+It contains the abbreviated package status (as three characters),
+such as “ii ” or “iHR” (since dpkg 1.16.2).
+See the \fB\-\-list\fP command description for more details.
+.TP
+.B db:Status\-Want
+It contains the package wanted status, part of the Status field
+(since dpkg 1.17.11).
+.TP
+.B db:Status\-Status
+It contains the package status word, part of the Status field
+(since dpkg 1.17.11).
+.TP
+.B db:Status\-Eflag
+It contains the package status error flag, part of the Status field
+(since dpkg 1.17.11).
+.TP
+.B db-fsys:Files
+It contains the list of the package filesystem entries separated by newlines
+(since dpkg 1.19.3).
+.TP
+.B db-fsys:Last\-Modified
+It contains the timestamp in seconds of the last time the package filesystem
+entries were modified (since dpkg 1.19.3).
+.TP
+.B source:Package
+It contains the source package name for this binary package
+(since dpkg 1.16.2).
+.TP
+.B source:Version
+It contains the source package version for this binary package
+(since dpkg 1.16.2)
+.TP
+.B source:Upstream-Version
+It contains the source package upstream version for this binary package
+(since dpkg 1.18.16)
+.RE
+.IP
+The default format string is “\fB${binary:Package}\et${Version}\en\fP”.
+Actually, all other fields found in the status file (i.e. user defined
+fields) can be requested, too. They will be printed as-is, though, no
+conversion nor error checking is done on them. To get the name of the
+\fBdpkg\fP maintainer and the installed version, you could run:
+
+.nf
+  \fBdpkg\-query \-W \-f='${binary:Package} ${Version}\\t${Maintainer}\\n' dpkg\fP
+.fi
+.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.TP
+.B 0
+The requested query was successfully performed.
+.TP
+.B 1
+The requested query failed either fully or partially, due to no file or
+package being found (except for \fB\-\-control\-path\fP,
+\fB\-\-control\-list\fP and \fB\-\-control\-show\fP were such errors are
+fatal).
+.TP
+.B 2
+Fatal or unrecoverable error due to invalid command-line usage, or
+interactions with the system, such as accesses to the database,
+memory allocations, etc.
+.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.SS External environment
+.TP
+.B SHELL
+Sets the program to execute when spawning a command via a shell
+(since dpkg 1.19.2).
+.TP
+.B PAGER
+.TQ
+.B DPKG_PAGER
+Sets the pager command to use (since dpkg 1.19.1), which will be executed
+with «\fB$SHELL -c\fP».
+If \fBSHELL\fP is not set, «\fBsh\fP» will be used instead.
+The \fBDPKG_PAGER\fP overrides the \fBPAGER\fP environment variable
+(since dpkg 1.19.2).
+.TP
+.B DPKG_ADMINDIR
+If set and the \fB\-\-admindir\fP option has not been specified, it will
+be used as the \fBdpkg\fP data directory.
+.TP
+.B DPKG_COLORS
+Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+The currently accepted values are: \fBauto\fP (default), \fBalways\fP and
+\fBnever\fP.
+.SS Internal environment
+.TP
+.B LESS
+Defined by \fBdpkg\-query\fP to “\fB-FRSXMQ\fP”, if not already set, when
+spawning a pager (since dpkg 1.19.2).
+To change the default behavior, this variable can be preset to some other
+value including an empty string, or the \fBPAGER\fP or \fBDPKG_PAGER\fP
+variables can be set to disable specific options with «\fB\-+\fP», for
+example \fBDPKG_PAGER="less \-+F"\fP.
