NAME

dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space

SYNOPSIS

dpigs [options]

DESCRIPTION

dpigs sorts the installed packages by size and outputs the largest ones. Per default dpigs displays the largest 10 packages. You can change this value by using the -n option (see ``OPTIONS''). The information is taken from the dpkg status file with grep-status(1).

OPTIONS

-h, --help: Display some usage information and exit.
-n, --lines=N: Display the N largest packages on the system (default 10).
-s, --status=FILE: Use FILE instead of the default dpkg status file (which is /var/lib/dpkg/status currently).
-S, --source: Display the largest source packages of binary packages installed on the system.
