aspcud(1) solve dependencies between packages

SYNOPSIS

aspcud [OPTION]... INPUT-FILE OUTPUT-FILE [CRITERION]

DESCRIPTION

aspcud solves package installation/removal/upgrade problems expressed in the CUDF format. It is intended to be called by package installers, but may also be used independently.

If the tool is not able to find a solution, then it writes "FAIL" to the output file.

ARGUMENTS

The first two command line arguments are mandatory:

INPUT-FILE
is the pathname of a file containing the problem specification in CUDF format (both the universe and the request)
OUTPUT-FILE
is the pathname of a file into which the solution will be written in CUDF output format. If the file does not exist it will be created, if it does already exist it will be overwritten without warning.
CRITERION
If no criteria is given, then the paranoid optimization criteria is chosen. To get a list of supported criteria, see the -c option of cudf2lp(1).

OPTIONS

aspcud supports the following options:
-h, --help
print help text, and default configurations and paths
-v, --version
print version and license information
-c OPT
append clasp option OPT (can be given multiple times); if at least one clasp option is given, then default search options are not used
-e ENC
append encoding ENC (can be given multiple times); if at least one encoding is given, then the default encoding is not used
-p OPT
append cudf2lp option OPT (can be given multiple times)
-s SOL

-g GRD
