How can I list the dependencies for a given package?

I thought this should be an easy task for Google, but I only found yaourt -Sq --depends <pkg>, which lists all packages that depend on <pkg>.

I was not able to find the other way around: list all dependencies that need to be installed for <pkg>.

Yaourt isn't a package manager. Either use pacman (`pacman -Qi $pkg` or `-Si` if it is not in the local db) or expac (`expac -S %D $pkg`). – jasonwryan Mar 04 '17 at 23:31
@jasonwryan would either of those help if I wanted to list the dependencies of an AUR package though? – terdon Mar 05 '17 at 00:04
@terdon No, you would need an AUR helper for that. Something like Cower. – jasonwryan Mar 05 '17 at 00:34
`yaourt -Qi $pkg` worked for me – aaaaaa Jun 22 '17 at 03:44
