prt-get: Search for a file in a package.
$ prt-get fsearch ${file}
try on your machine

The command "prt-get fsearch ${file}" is composed of three parts:

  1. "prt-get" is the name of the command-line package manager tool used in CRUX Linux. It is used to manage software packages on the system.

  2. "fsearch" is an option or subcommand of the "prt-get" tool. It is short for "files search" and is used to search for files within installed packages.

  3. "${file}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file name you want to search for. The "${}" syntax is used to reference variables in shell scripting.

So, when you execute this command with a specific file name, it will search for that file within the installed packages on your CRUX Linux system. The search results will display the package(s) that contain the file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
