pkcon: Search for a specific package.
$ pkcon search ${package}
try on your machine
The command "pkcon search ${package}" is a command line instruction that uses the "pkcon" tool to search for packages based on a given keyword or package name.
Here's a breakdown of the command's components:
- "pkcon": This refers to the PackageKit console client, a package management tool for Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu.
- "search": This is an argument or sub-command for the "pkcon" tool, indicating that we want to perform a search operation.
- "${package}": This is a placeholder that represents the keyword or package name you want to search for. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual package or keyword you wish to search.
For example, if you want to search for a package named "example", you would replace "${package}" with "example" in the command to search for that specific package using "pkcon search example".
