opkg: Display information for a specific package.
$ opkg info ${package}
try on your machine
The command "opkg info ${package}" is typically used in Linux-based systems with the opkg package manager to obtain information about a specific software package. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "opkg" is the command-line tool used for package management in OpenWrt, a Linux distribution focused on embedded devices and routers.
- "info" is a subcommand of opkg used to retrieve detailed information about a package.
- "${package}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to get information about. You would replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you're interested in.
When you execute this command, opkg will search its package database for the specified package and provide you with various details about it. This typically includes the package name, version, description, architecture, maintainers, installed size, dependencies, and more.
