repo-add: Add all package binaries in the current directory in silent mode except for warning and error messages.
$ repo-add --quiet ${path-to-database-db-tar-gz} ${*-pkg-tar-zst}
try on your machine
The command "repo-add --quiet ${path-to-database-db-tar-gz} ${*-pkg-tar-zst}" is used to add package files (in .tar.zst format) to a database file (with a .db.tar.gz extension) used by a package manager.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "repo-add" is the name of the command-line tool or program being executed.
- "--quiet" is an optional flag or option that specifies that the command should be executed silently without displaying any output or progress. It suppresses informational messages.
- "${path-to-database-db-tar-gz}" is a placeholder representing the path to the database file (in .db.tar.gz format) where the package information will be stored or updated. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to the file on your system.
- "${-pkg-tar-zst}" is another placeholder that represents multiple package files (in .tar.zst format) to be added to the database. The asterisk () is a wildcard that matches any text, allowing you to specify multiple input files at once. You also need to replace this placeholder with the actual file names or paths on your system.
The purpose of this command is to update or create a package database for a package manager, which allows the manager to keep track of installed packages, dependencies, and other metadata necessary for package management operations.
