cabal: Search and list packages from Hackage.
$ cabal list ${search_string}
try on your machine
The command "cabal list ${search_string}" is a command used in the Cabal package manager in Haskell.
Here's an explanation of the command and its components:
- "cabal" refers to the Cabal package manager itself. It is a tool used for managing Haskell packages and their dependencies.
- "list" is a command in Cabal used to search for and display information about packages available in the package repository.
- "${search_string}" is a placeholder for the text you want to search for. You replace "${search_string}" with your actual search query, such as the name of a package or a specific keyword.
When you run the command "cabal list ${search_string}", Cabal will search the package repository for the specified search query and display information about the matching packages. This information typically includes package names, versions, descriptions, and other relevant details.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
