pamac: Search the package database for a package.
$ pamac search ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "pamac search ${package_name}" is used in a Linux terminal to search for a package or software using the package manager called "pamac".
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "pamac" is a package management tool used in various Linux distributions, such as Arch Linux and Manjaro. It allows users to search, install, update, and remove packages/software.
- "search" is the action/command used with "pamac" to search for packages/software within the available repositories.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder in the command that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the package/software you are looking for. For example, if you want to search for the package "firefox", you would replace "${package_name}" with "firefox". The "${}" notation is used to represent variables in the Linux command line.
When you run this command with the correct package name, the package manager "pamac" will search for the specified package in the repositories and display the search results on the terminal. It typically provides information about the package, such as its name, description, version, and other details. This can help you find the package you are looking for and decide if you want to install it.
