.SH "NAME"
apt\-show\-source \- Lists source\-packages.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This program parses the \s-1APT\s0 lists for source packages and the dpkg status file and then lists
every package with a higher version number than the one installed.
.PP
It may prove very useful if the \*(L"deb\*(R" entries in your \s-1APT\s0 sources.list point to
stable and the \*(L"deb-src\*(R" entries point to unstable. With this program you are
easily able to find out if there is a newer version of eg. Program \s-1XXXX\s0
in unstable.
.SH "COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS"
.IX Header "COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS"
Optional command line parameters are the \s-1DPKG\s0 Status file to use, the path to \s-1APT\s0's list files and a package name.
There are also options to display: all source-packages, verbose messages, version-only and command-line help.

.IX Subsection "-ld DIRECTORY, --list-dir=DIRECTORY"
\&\fI\s-1DIRECTORY\s0\fR specifies the path to \s-1APT\s0's list files, defaults to /var/lib/apt/lists/.
.SS "\fB\-p\fP \fI\s-1PACKAGE\s0\fP, \fB\-\-package\fP=\fI\s-1PACKAGE\s0\fP"
.IX Subsection "-p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE"
Prints out the installed\-package/source\-package version Information for \fI\s-1PACKAGE\s0\fR.
.SS "\fB\-\-version\-only\fP"
.IX Subsection "--version-only"
Prints version only if used together with \fB\-\-package\fR.
