Is there a way to output a list of installed packages

I used to use a command involving DPKG in Ubuntu/Debian, but I was curious to see if there is anything of this sort in Arch Linux.

Sure there is, "pacman -Q" outputs a list of installed packages.

Check out the Pacman Rosetta [1] page in the wiki to know your way around several package managing tasks.

Good lord, thats much less complicated than

$ dpkg --get-selections > /backup/installed-software.log

Thanks, Kupo!

Edit: Dang, when used with Yaourt I can even get the AUR packages, and it even lists the version number.
