trizen: Remove a package and its dependencies.
$ trizen -Rs ${package}
try on your machine

The command "trizen -Rs ${package}" is using the package manager tool called "trizen" to remove a specific package from the system.

Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • "trizen": It is the name of the package manager utility that is being used here. Trizen is a package manager specifically designed for Arch-based Linux distributions, which provides an easy way to search, install, and manage packages.

  • "-Rs": These are options or flags provided to the "trizen" command. The "-R" flag indicates that the command is for removing a package, and the "-s" flag is used to perform a search specifically in the package databases.

  • "${package}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package that you want to remove. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove the package called "example-package", you would replace "${package}" with "example-package".

So, when you run the command "trizen -Rs ${package}", it triggers the trizen package manager to search for the specified package in its database and proceeds to remove it from the system if it's found.
