pcpm store

pcpm store <subcommand> [options]

pcpm store is a family of subcommands that manage the global content-addressable store.

Subcommands

pcpm store status

Prints a summary of the store:

Store path:     %LOCALAPPDATA%\pcpm\store
Layout version: v1
Packages:       4,231
Disk usage:     3.7 GB
Hardlinks out:  17,348

Use --json for a machine-readable form.

pcpm store path

Prints the absolute path of the store. Useful in scripts:

STORE=$(pcpm store path)
du -sh "$STORE"

pcpm store verify

Walks the store, recomputes the SHA-256 of every entry, and compares it to the recorded hash. Exits non-zero if any mismatch is found.

This is what pcpm doctor runs under the store-integrity check.

pcpm store prune (reserved)

In a future release: walks the lockfile of the current workspace, and drops every store entry that no lockfile references. Today, this is a no-op that prints a message pointing to the manual recipe.

Manual prune

To manually shrink the store:

# 1. Find out what's referenced
pcpm list --json | jq -r '.[].hash' > /tmp/referenced-hashes.txt

# 2. Find what's on disk
find "$(pcpm store path)" -name 'pkg.nupkg' | sed 's|.*/store/v1/||;s|/pkg.nupkg||' > /tmp/store-hashes.txt

# 3. Show what would be removed
comm -23 <(sort /tmp/store-hashes.txt) <(sort /tmp/referenced-hashes.txt)
