tlmgr-repository: List all packages available in a specific repository.

The command "tlmgr repository list ${select}" is a command used in the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr), which is a package manager for the TeX typesetting system. This command is used to list the available repositories for TeX Live.

Let's break down the command into its components:

  • "tlmgr": It is the command-line interface for the TeX Live Manager.
  • "repository": It is an argument that specifies that we want to interact with the repository-related functionality of tlmgr.
  • "list": It is a subcommand that instructs tlmgr to list the available repositories.

The "${select}" part of the command is a placeholder or variable. It should be replaced with a specific repository name or an expression that selects a repository from the available ones. This allows you to filter or choose a subset of repositories to list.

In summary, the command "tlmgr repository list ${select}" is used to obtain a list of available repositories in TeX Live, with the option to select specific repositories using the "${select}" placeholder.
