常用示例
Refresh
sudo pacman -Fy
Find which package
pacman -F [bin/ls]
List all files
pacman -Fl [pacman]
Search for files
pacman -Fx '[\.so\.1$]'
Machine-readable output
pacman -F [pattern] --machinereadable
说明
pacman -F (equivalently pacman --files) queries the Arch files database, which maps every file in a package to its owning package. It answers the classic "which package provides /usr/bin/foo?" question without having the package installed. The files database must be downloaded first with pacman -Fy. A bare pacman -F _pattern_ implicitly performs a filename search, so an explicit -s is not required.
