pacstall: Search the package database for a package name.
$ pacstall --search ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "pacstall --search ${package_name}" is used to search for a package named "package_name" using the "pacstall" package manager.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "pacstall": This is the name of the package manager being used. It is a package manager designed for installing software packages on Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch.

  • "--search": This is an option or flag that specifies the action to be taken by the package manager. In this case, it tells "pacstall" to perform a search for a package.

  • "${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to search for. You need to replace it with the actual name of the package you are interested in.

By running this command, the "pacstall" package manager will search for the specified package and provide information about it, such as its name, version, description, and possibly other details.
