Command Specification (CLI)

The packages metadata command is used to list the packages in a feed.

The --package and --version options are always required. The --feed option is required if there is no default feed configured.

Displaying a package's metadata requires the package (e.g. Newtonsoft.Json) and version (e.g. 13.0.3):

pgutil packages metadata --package="Newtonsoft.Json" --version=13.0.3 --feed=nuget-approved

Example Output:

Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.3
