namcap: Check a file, printing extra [i]nformational messages.

namcap

$ namcap -i ${filename}

try on your machine

The command namcap -i ${filename} is a command-line instruction using the namcap tool with an input option -i and a specific file name ${filename} as an argument.

namcap is a package analysis tool used in Arch Linux to check PKGBUILDs (package build scripts) created for the Arch User Repository (AUR). It examines the package build script and provides feedback on potential issues or improvements.

The -i option in this command is used to initialize namcap in interactive mode, which allows the user to view and manually inspect the generated results. This means that the command will display detailed output and prompt the user for confirmation or review one result at a time.

${filename} represents the variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to analyze using namcap. For example, if you have a file called mypackage.tar.gz, you would replace ${filename} with mypackage.tar.gz as the final command.
