namespace

The namespace prefix used to filter requested packages. Only packages with a namespace that starts with the provided string value are returned. Note that although this option is called --namespace and not --namespace-prefix, it has prefix-matching behavior.

Each package format uses namespace as follows:

  • The namespace of a Maven package is its groupId.

  • The namespace of an npm package is its scope.

  • Python and NuGet packages do not contain a corresponding component, packages of those formats do not have a namespace.

  • The namespace of a generic package is its namespace.
