Inspecting packages

You can inspect the uploaded packages and also the packages in the local cache with the conan get command.

• List the files of a local recipe folder:

  $ conan get zlib/1.2.8@conan/stable .
  
  Listing directory '.':
   CMakeLists.txt
   conanfile.py
   conanmanifest.txt
  

• Print the conaninfo.txt file of a binary package:

  $ conan get zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable -p 09512ff863f37e98ed748eadd9c6df3e4ea424a8
  

• Print the conanfile.py from a remote package:

  $ conan get zlib/1.2.8@conan/stable -r conan-center
  

  from conans import ConanFile, tools, CMake, AutoToolsBuildEnvironment
  from conans.util import files
  from conans import __version__ as conan_version
  import os
  
  
  class ZlibConan(ConanFile):
      name = "zlib"
      version = "1.2.8"
      ZIP_FOLDER_NAME = "zlib-%s" % version
  
      #...
  

Check the conan get command command reference and more examples.
