eopkg: Search for packages.
$ sudo eopkg search ${search_term}
try on your machine

The command "sudo eopkg search ${search_term}" is used to search for packages in the Solus operating system's package manager called "eopkg". Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" is a command that allows the user to run programs or commands with elevated privileges. It stands for "superuser do" and is often used to perform administrative tasks.

  • "eopkg" is the package manager for the Solus operating system. It is used to install, update, and manage software packages.

  • "search" is the specific action or command within eopkg that is being invoked. It instructs eopkg to search for packages matching the provided search term.

  • "${search_term}" is a placeholder variable that represents the actual search term you want to use. It could be a keyword or a package name that you want to search for in the package manager.

When you run this command and replace "${search_term}" with your desired search term, eopkg will search for packages matching that term in the package repositories and display the results. The "sudo" prefix is used to ensure that the search command has sufficient privileges to access system resources and perform the search operation.
