\fBExamples\fP
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps nodes/node_name.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps roles/role_name.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps cookbooks/cookbook_name.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps environments/environment_name.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
To find the dependencies for a combination of nodes, cookbooks, roles, and/or environments:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps cookbooks/git.json cookbooks/github.json roles/base.json environments/desert.json nodes/mynode.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
A wildcard can be used to return all of the child nodes. For example, all of the environments:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps environments/*.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
Use the \fB\-\-tree\fP option to view the results with structure:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife deps roles/webserver.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
to return something like:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
roles/webserver.json
  roles/base.json
    cookbooks/github
      cookbooks/git
    cookbooks/users
  cookbooks/apache2
.ft P
.fi
.sp
The output of \fBknife deps\fP can be passed to \fBknife upload\fP:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ knife upload \(gaknife deps nodes/*.json
.ft P
.fi
.sp
The output of \fBknife deps\fP can be passed to \fBknife xargs\fP:
