paru: Get information about a package.

paru

$ paru -Si ${package_name}

try on your machine

The command "paru -Si ${package_name}" is used to search for information about a specific package using the package manager "paru".

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"paru": This is the package manager being used. Paru is a popular AUR (Arch User Repository) helper for Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions. It allows users to easily search, build, and install packages from the AUR.
"-Si": These are options that define the behavior of the command. In this case, "-S" stands for search, and "i" stands for package info. So, the "-Si" option tells paru to search for and display detailed information about a specific package.
"${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to search for. You need to replace "${package_name}" with the actual name of the package you want to get information about.

By running this command with the appropriate package name, you can find detailed information about a specific package, such as its version, description, dependencies, and other related information.
