pacman-sync:tldr:94b98

This command pacman --sync --search "${search_pattern}" is used in the Arch Linux package manager called pacman.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• pacman: This is the name of the package manager itself, similar to apt in Debian-based systems or yum in Red Hat-based systems.
• --sync: It is a shorthand for --synchronize or -S. This option tells pacman to perform a package operation, in this case, to synchronize or manage packages.
• --search: This is another option in pacman which allows searching for packages in the repositories.
• ${search_pattern}: This is a variable that holds the pattern or keyword you want to search for. It is enclosed in double quotes ("${search_pattern}") to ensure that it is treated as a single argument.

When you execute this command, pacman will search for packages in the repositories that match the given search pattern. It will display the search results, including the package name, version, and a brief description.
