=head1 NAME

apt-why - filtered reverse dependency displayer using AptPkg::Cache

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<apt-why> [ I<options> ] I<package>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<apt-why> recursively displays I<package>'s reverse dependency, thus
showing which installed packages require I<package> on the system.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<--all>

Consider all packages, not just installed ones

=item B<--depth>=I<integer> (default: 5)

Specify the maximum recursion depth

=item B<--deptype>=I<types>

Only show reverse dependency which mach the specified I<types> (comma separated list).
Right now, possible types are Depends, Suggests, Recommends.

=item B<--tabwidth>=I<i>

Indent each recursion level with I<i> spaces (by default: one tab)
