rankmirrors:tldr:9e1a7
This command is related to the Arch Linux package manager, Pacman.
rankmirrors
is a utility provided by Pacman that allows you to sort and rank the mirrors in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
file based on their speed, which helps you choose the fastest mirror for updates and package installations.
The -v
option is used to enable verbose output, meaning it will display detailed information about the ranking process.
${-etc-pacman-d-mirrorlist}
is a placeholder, and it suggests that you should replace it with the actual path to the mirrorlist
file. The mirrorlist
file can be found at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
by default on Arch Linux systems.
So, when executing the command, you should replace ${-etc-pacman-d-mirrorlist}
with the correct path to the mirrorlist file, like /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
.
