The command "tlmgr info ${package_name}" is a command-line instruction related to the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr), which is a package manager and command-line tool for managing TeX Live packages.

The purpose of this command is to get information about a specific package in the TeX Live distribution. The "${package_name}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to retrieve information for.

When you run this command in a terminal or command prompt, the TeX Live Manager will provide details about the specified package, including its name, version, description, and other relevant information. This can be useful to check the status of a package, verify its installation, or obtain more information about its features and dependencies.

Note that for this command to work, you need to have TeX Live installed on your system and the "tlmgr" utility available in your command-line environment.
