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 version is its groupId.

• The namespace of an npm or Swift package version is its scope.

• The namespace of a generic package is its namespace.

• Python, NuGet, Ruby, and Cargo package versions do not contain a corresponding component, package versions of those formats do not have a namespace.
