NAME
       reflector  -  retrieve  and filter a list of current Arch Linux package
       repository servers


SYNOPSIS
       reflector [options]


DESCRIPTION
       Reflector retrieves a list of Arch  Linux  package  repository  servers
       from  https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatusReflector  and filters
       them according to user input. See the options section for more informa‐
       tion about available filters.


OPTIONS
       Reflector recognized the following options:



       --all, -a
	      Retrieve	all  mirrors.  This  is the default behavior and it is
	      overridden by other options.


       --arch <arch>
	      Retrieve mirrors for a different architecture.  By  default  the
	      architecture of the host system is used.


       --fastest, -f n
	      Retrieve the n fastest mirrors.

	      This  necessarily	 implies "--rank" and the caveats that go with
	      it.


       --help Display the help message and exit.


       --hours, -h n
	      Retrieve all mirrors which have synchronized within the  last  n
	      hours.


       --latest, -l n
	      Retrieve the n most up-to-date mirrors.


       --man  Display the man page and exit.


       --man-nroff
	      Display the man page in nroff format and exit.


       --output, -o <path>
	      Save the mirrorlist to the given path.


       --rank, -r
	      Rank  the	 returned  mirrorlist  using  rankmirrors. This option
	      should not be used on its own as it will take ages to  rank  the
	      full unfiltered mirrorlist and there is no reason to do that.
