The command "eix --license ${license}" is using the eix tool to search for packages with a specific license.
Here is a breakdown of each component in the command:
-
"eix": It is a popular command-line tool for Gentoo users that provides an efficient way to search and query information about packages.
-
"--license": It is an option provided by eix that allows filtering packages based on their license.
-
"${license}": It is a placeholder for the license name. You need to replace "${license}" with the actual license you want to search for.
By running the command with a specific license name, eix will search its package database and display information about packages that have the specified license. This can help you find software packages that adhere to a particular license, which may be useful for license compliance or personal preferences.
