xbps-remove

The command line tool "xbps-remove" is a utility used in the XBPS package manager system, specifically for the XBPS package format used in Void Linux. It is designed to remove packages from the system. When executed, it prompts the user for confirmation before permanently removing the specified package(s) and all of their dependencies.

xbps-remove offers various options and flags to enable different functionality, such as "--purge" to remove the package and all of its configuration files, "--force" to ignore warnings and forcibly remove the package, and "--recursive" to remove the package and all of its reverse dependencies.

It presents a summary of the affected packages before the confirmation prompt, including the dependencies that are scheduled for removal, allowing users to determine the implications of the removal operation.

The "xbps-remove" tool follows the dependency resolution provided by the XBPS package manager, ensuring that any package which relies on the packages being removed is also properly adjusted or removed to maintain system consistency.

Overall, "xbps-remove" serves as an essential tool to manage packages and dependencies efficiently in the XBPS package management system and facilitate package removal operations in Void Linux.
