# Name
reflector - retrieve and filter the latest Pacman mirrorlist
# Synopsis
`reflector [arguments]`
# Description
reflector is a Python script and associated Python module that can retrieve up-to-date Arch Linux mirror data from the [Mirror Status](https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/) web interface.
# Arguments
See `reflector --help`.
# Examples
Print the latest mirrorlist to STDOUT:
~~~{.sh}
reflector
~~~
Sort the five most recently synchronized mirrors by download speed and overwrite the local mirrorlist:
~~~{.sh}
reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
~~~
Select the 200 most recently synchronized HTTP or HTTPS mirrors, sort them by download speed, and overwrite the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:
~~~{.sh}
reflector --latest 200 --protocol http,https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
~~~
Select the HTTPS mirrors synchronized within the last 12 hours and located in either France or Germany, sort them by download speed, and overwrite the file `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist` with the results:
~~~{.sh}
reflector --country France,Germany --age 12 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
~~~
# Systemd Integration
Reflector includes systemd service and timer units that can be used to automatically update Pacman's mirrorlist. To use the timer, edit the configuration file at `/etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf` and then enable the timer with
~~~{.sh}
systemctl enable reflector.timer
systemctl start reflector.timer
~~~
Check that status with `systemctl list-timers`. To update the mirrorlist immediately instead of waiting for the scheduled operation, run `systemctl start reflector.service`.
