*NOTE*: If specified, this is an absolute path, and the root path is
not automatically prepended.
*-r, \--root* <path>::
Specify an alternative installation root (default is `/`). This should
not be used as a way to install software into `/usr/local` instead of
`/usr`.
*NOTE*: If database path or log file are not specified on either the
command line or in linkman:pacman.conf[5], their default location will
be inside this root path.
*NOTE*: This option is not suitable for performing operations on a mounted
guest system. See '\--sysroot' instead.
*-v, \--verbose*::
Output paths such as as the Root, Conf File, DB Path, Cache Dirs, etc.
