swupd: Locate the bundle where a wanted package exists.
$ swupd search -b ${package}
try on your machine

The command "swupd search -b ${package}" is used to search for a specific package on a system that uses the Clear Linux OS update manager tool called "swupd".

Here is a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "swupd" is the name of the command-line tool used to manage and update software packages on Clear Linux OS.
  • "search" is an argument passed to the "swupd" command that instructs it to perform a search operation.
  • "-b" is another argument passed to the "swupd" command, which stands for "best match." It tells the tool to find the best match for the specified package name.
  • "${package}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to search for. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual package name you are looking for.

By running this command and replacing "${package}" with a specific package name, you can search for the package on the system and get information about it, such as its version and description.

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.
