Description

Pacman file databases can be searched to find which package owns or provides a file path. This is useful for troubleshooting missing commands, identifying package contents, and maintaining Arch-based systems.

It is a command-line metadata tool. Results depend on up-to-date file databases, so users may need to refresh package metadata before trusting a search.

How to run
