slapt-src: Display information about a slackbuild.

slapt-src

$ slapt-src --show ${slackbuild_name}

try on your machine

The command "slapt-src --show ${slackbuild_name}" is used to display information about a SlackBuild script in the slapt-src package management system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

slapt-src: This is the executable program for slapt-src, which is a package manager for Slackware Linux that can download and build packages from SlackBuild scripts.
--show: This is an option that tells slapt-src to display information about a specific SlackBuild script.
${slackbuild_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the SlackBuild script that you want to view information for. You need to replace ${slackbuild_name} with the actual name of the SlackBuild script.

When you run this command with the appropriate SlackBuild script name, slapt-src will provide detailed information about the script. This information may include the package name, version, maintainer, build dependencies, and other relevant details. It helps users to determine if they want to build and install the package using slapt-src.
