Description

Provides a command-line tool that returns pacman sync database package information as JSON. Scripts and developer tools can use it to query package metadata in a machine-readable format.

Use it when automation needs structured package data instead of parsing human-oriented pacman output. Results reflect the local sync database, so update package databases when freshness matters.

How to run

pacquery

Commands: pacquery
