The command "pacaur -Qs" is used to search through the installed packages on an Arch Linux system. Here's what each part of the command does:

  • "pacaur" is the actual command that is being executed. Pacaur is an AUR (Arch User Repository) helper, which is used to manage packages from the AUR. With Pacaur, you can install, remove, upgrade, and search for packages.

  • "-Qs" is a combination of two options that are passed to the "pacaur" command. The "-Q" option is used to query the local package database, and the "s" option is used to perform a search.

When you run "pacaur -Qs", it will search through the installed packages on your system based on the keywords or patterns you provide. It will then return the matching package names and descriptions. This command can be helpful when you want to find packages related to certain functionalities or keywords in your system.
