slapt-get: Show information about a package.
$ slapt-get --show ${package_name}
try on your machine

This command is an example of using the "slapt-get" tool with the "--show" option to display information about a specific package.

"slapt-get" is a package management tool used in Slackware-based Linux distributions. It is similar to Debian's "apt-get" command.

The "--show" option allows you to retrieve detailed information about a particular package. In the command, "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to retrieve information about. You need to replace "${package_name}" with the name of the package you are interested in.

When you run this command with the package name, it will provide you with information such as the package version, size, dependencies, and a brief description of the package.
