# apt-parse - parse the output of some Apt commands \[[Home][ringlet-home] | [GitLab][gitlab] | [crates.io][crates-io] | [ReadTheDocs][readthedocs]\] ## Overview The `apt-parse` library implements a parser for the text output of some of the Apt package manager's commands. For the present, only parsing the output of `apt-cache policy` is implemented. There is an `apt-parse-file` command-line tool that demonstrates the use of the `apt-parse` library. ## Contact The `apt-parse` library was written by [Peter Pentchev][roam]. It is developed in [a GitLab repository][gitlab]. This documentation is hosted at [Ringlet][ringlet-home] with a copy at [ReadTheDocs][readthedocs].
