dnf: Search packages via keywords.
$ dnf search ${keyword1 keyword2 ---}
try on your machine
The command "dnf search ${keyword1 keyword2 ---}" is used to search for packages matching the given keywords in the DNF (Dandified Yum) package manager. Here is an explanation of each component:
- "dnf" is the command-line tool for managing packages in Fedora and some other Linux distributions.
- "search" is the specific command that instructs DNF to perform a search operation.
- "${keyword1 keyword2 ---}" represents the keywords or search terms you want to use. You can replace "keyword1" and "keyword2" with actual keywords you want to search for. The "---" at the end indicates the end of the search terms.
For example, if you want to search for packages related to "web" and "development", you would use the command "dnf search web development". DNF will then search its package repositories for packages matching those keywords and display the results.
