pamac: Check for package updates.

pamac

$ pamac checkupdates

try on your machine

The command pamac checkupdates is used to check for updates for software packages installed on a Linux system using the Pamac package manager.

Pamac is a package manager that is used in some Linux distributions, such as Manjaro. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line interface (CLI) for managing software packages.

When you run the pamac checkupdates command in the terminal, it contacts the software repositories configured in your system and checks for any available updates for the installed packages. It does not actually install any updates, but only lists the available updates.

This command is helpful to quickly see if there are any updates available for the software packages installed on your system. It can be used as a precursor to running the pamac update command, which actually installs the updates. By separating the checking and updating steps, you can decide when and which updates to install, giving you more control over your system's software updates.
