dpigs

dpigs [options]

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).

-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.

-H, --human-readable

Display package sizes in human-readable format (like ls -lh or du -h)

-h, --help

Display some usage information and exit.
