eix: Exclude results from search.
$ eix --not --license ${license}
try on your machine
The command "eix --not --license ${license}" is used within the Gentoo Linux operating system to search for software packages that do not have a specific license.
Let's break down the command:
- "eix" is a command-line tool for searching and querying software packages in Gentoo Linux.
- "--not --license" is a combination of options provided to the "eix" command. In this case, "--not" is used to indicate that the following condition should be negated, and "--license" specifies that the license is the condition to be checked.
- "${license}" is a variable placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual license you want to search for. For example, if you want to find packages that do not have the GPL license, you would replace "${license}" with "GPL".
So when you run "eix --not --license ${license}", it will search for software packages that do not have the specified license and display the results.
