info - Show Package Information

The info verb shows detailed information about packages. It is provided by the colcon-package-information package.

For each package a set of lines is shown starting with the path of the package. Additionally the package type, name, build/run/test dependencies and metadata like the package version are enumerated.

By default the information for all packages is shown. Optionally, single or multiple package names can be passed to only show their information.

Command line arguments

These common arguments can be used:

• discovery arguments

• package selection arguments

• mixin arguments

Additionally, the following specific command line arguments can be used:

PKG_NAME [PKG_NAME …]

Explicit package names to only show their information. This positional argument is redundant with the package selection argument --packages-select and only exists for ease of use.
