try on your machine
The command "pacman --remove --print ${package_name}" is used in the Pacman package manager in Arch Linux to remove a package from the system and display information about the removed package.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "pacman": It is the command-line program for the package manager.
- "--remove": This option instructs Pacman to remove a package from the system.
- "--print": This option tells Pacman to print information about the removed package.
- "${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to remove. You would replace "${package_name}" with the name of the package you wish to remove.
When you run this command, Pacman will remove the specified package and display information such as the package name, version, size, and a list of files that were part of the package.
