- a: as i, but installed only as dependency
- U: installed package; can be upgraded
- A: installed package; newer than publically available
- l: installed package; not on server

Options processed:

installed(true): Only list packages that are locally installed. Contacts the server to compare our local version to the latest available version.
outdated(true): Only list packages that need to be updated. This option implies installed(true).
server(Server|false): If false, do not contact the server. This implies installed(true). Otherwise, use the given pack server.

Hint: ?- pack_list(''). lists all known packages.

The predicates pack_list/1 and pack_search/1 are synonyms. Both contact the package server at https://www.swi-prolog.org to find available packages. Contacting the server can be avoided using the server(false) option.
