$ pacman --database --check --quiet

try on your machine

The command pacman --database --check --quiet is used in Arch Linux's package manager, Pacman.

Here's the breakdown of each part of the command:

pacman: This is the command itself, indicating that we want to use the Pacman package manager.
--database: This option allows you to perform various operations related to the package database. In this command, it means that we want to perform a check on the package database.
--check: This option is used to check the package database for any errors or inconsistencies. It verifies the integrity of the packages, their dependencies, and the package database itself.
--quiet: This option enables quiet mode, which suppresses unnecessary output and only displays essential information. In this case, it will only show errors or inconsistencies that are found during the check.

In summary, the command pacman --database --check --quiet checks the package database for errors or inconsistencies, and it does so silently without producing unnecessary output.
