equery: List all files installed by a package.
$ equery files --tree ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "equery files --tree ${package_name}" is used in Gentoo Linux to display the file tree structure of a specific package.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "equery" is a command-line tool in Gentoo Linux used to query information about installed packages.
- "files" is a subcommand of "equery" which lists the files installed by a package.
- "--tree" is an option for the "equery files" command to display the file tree structure.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the package you want to examine.
So, when you run the command with the appropriate package name, it will display a tree-like structure of the files installed by that package. This structure includes directories and subdirectories along with the files contained within them. It gives you a comprehensive overview of the files that are part of the specified package, helping you understand its organization and contents.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
