tlmgr-info:tldr:54612

This command uses the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) to provide information about a specific package in the TeX Live distribution. Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

• tlmgr info: This is the main command that instructs tlmgr to provide package information. It retrieves essential information about a package such as its version, size, and dependencies.

• ${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the specific package you want to retrieve information about. You would replace ${package_name} with the actual name of the package you are interested in.

• --data: This option specifies that the output of the command should be in a specific format, separated by commas. It enables the user to specify the format of the information they want to retrieve.

• "${name},${category},${installed},${size},${depends},...": These placeholders represent the fields or attributes that the user wants to retrieve for the package. They are separated by commas to conform to the output format specified by --data. The actual values will be displayed for each attribute, such as the package's name, category, whether it is installed, its size, and its dependencies.

After running this command with the appropriate package name, you will get detailed information about that specific package, formatted in a comma-separated list.
