pkgutil: List package IDs for all installed packages.
$ pkgutil --pkgs
try on your machine
The command "pkgutil --pkgs" is used to display a list of all the installed packages on a macOS system.
When you run this command in the terminal, it triggers the "pkgutil" command-line tool, which is a built-in package management utility in macOS. The "--pkgs" flag is specified to instruct the tool to specifically list the packages.
The output of this command will be a list of package identifiers, each representing a different installed package on the system. These identifiers can be used to further interact with or manage the installed packages using other pkgutil commands or package management tools.
