pacman: use short options only (#8286) 2022-08-10 13:13:57 +01:00			`pacman -Q`
Added command 'pacman -Qe' Hey there, I took the liberty to add the command `pacman -Qe` for listing all and only the explicitly installed packages (`-e` option), still showing versions. Useful when you want a concise list of the packages you have without all the dependencies. 2015-12-29 11:20:11 +00:00
