pacman-conf − query pacman's configuration file
pacman−conf [options] [<directive> ...]
pacman−conf (−−repo−list|−−help|−−version)
pacman−conf is a utility for parsing the pacman configuration file and returning script−friendly output. It is designed to properly handle non−trivial configuration features such as variable interpolation and the use of the Include directive, and guarantees that it will return the same configuration values which pacman itself would use.
pacman−conf will output the fully−resolved contents of the configuration file by default, or, if provided with the name of a configuration directive, output the contents of the given directive alone.
−c, −−config <path>

−R, −−rootdir <path>

−r, −−repo <remote>
Query options for a specific repository.
−v, −−verbose
Always shown directive names.
−l, −−repo−list

−h, −−help

−V, −−version
Display version and exit.
