dnf: Display details about a package.
$ dnf info ${package}
try on your machine

The command "dnf info ${package}" is a Linux command that is used to obtain information about a specific package. Here's a breakdown of its components:

  • "dnf": The command-line package manager in Fedora (and other rpm-based distributions) used to manage software package installations, updates, and removal.
  • "info": A subcommand, which is used to retrieve detailed information about a package.
  • "${package}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to get information about. You need to replace ${package} with the actual name of the package you are interested in.

By running this command and replacing ${package} with the desired package name, you'll receive information such as the package name, version, description, size, installed files, and other details about that particular package.
