+pacman-conf(8)
+==============
+
+Name
+----
+pacman-conf - query pacman's configuration file
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'pacman-conf' [options] [<directive> ...]
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+The 'pacman-conf' utility is created since parsing pacman's configuration file
+is non-trivial and extremely difficult to do correctly from scripts. It makes it
+easy for scripts to get the same configuration value which pacman itself would
+use.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+*-c, \--config* <path>::
+	Specify an alternate configuration file.
+
+*-R, \--rootdir* <path>::
+	Specify an alternate installation root (default is `/`).
+
+*-r, \--repo* <remote>::
+	Query options for a specific repository.
+
+*-v, \--verbose*::
+	Always shown directive names.
+
+*-l, \--repo-list*::
+	List configured repositories.
+
+*-V, \--version*::
+	Display version and exit.
+
+*-h, \--help*::
+	Output syntax and command line options.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+pacman-conf -r core Usage::
+	Show the value of the Usage configuration option for core repository.
+
+pacman-conf HoldPkg::
+	Show the value of the HoldPkg configuration option.
