The command you provided seems to be related to the package manager in Arch Linux called "pacman". Let's break down the command:

  • pacman: It is the package manager used in Arch Linux, which handles installation, upgrades, and removal of software packages.

  • --upgrade: This is an option used with pacman to upgrade installed packages. It ensures that the package being upgraded is the latest available version.

  • --print: This is another option used with pacman to display information about the package.

  • ${path-to-package-pkg-tar-zst}: This is a placeholder representing the path to the package file with a .pkg.tar.zst extension. You need to replace ${path-to-package-pkg-tar-zst} with the actual path to the package file on your system.

So, when you run the command with the correct package file path, pacman will try to upgrade the specified package to the latest version and display information about the package.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
