eix: Search in package descriptions.
$ eix --description "${description}"
try on your machine
The command "eix --description "${description}"" is used to search for package descriptions with specific keywords using the eix tool in a Linux environment.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "eix" is a package management tool in Gentoo-based Linux distributions like Funtoo and Sabayon. It is used to search for and query information about software packages.
- "--description" is an option/flag that specifies the search should be performed on the description field of packages.
- "${description}" is a variable that holds the keyword(s) you want to search for in the package descriptions. The value of this variable needs to be set before running the command.
When you run this command, eix will search for package descriptions that contain the keyword(s) specified by "${description}". The search results will be displayed in the terminal.
