The "checkupdates-aur" command is used in Arch-based Linux systems to check for updates specific to the AUR (Arch User Repository).

The AUR is a community-driven repository where users can submit packages that are not included in the official Arch repositories. These packages are generally maintained by individual users and may not have gone through the same level of security and testing as official packages.

The "checkupdates-aur" command is not a built-in command but can be installed as part of the "yay" or "aurutils" package managers. When executed, it checks the AUR for any updates available for the installed packages from the AUR. It provides a list of outdated AUR packages, if any, that can be updated to their latest versions.

Using this command regularly allows Arch Linux users to stay up-to-date with the latest versions of AUR packages they have installed, ensuring that they have access to the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches provided by the AUR package maintainers.
