If you use a private message to +run the command, you'll get the results privately, and the limit is +increased to 25. + +Examples: + +-- Search all manual sections: + +<user> !man printf +<slackfacts> user: printf(1): format and print data | printf(3): formatted + output conversion + +-- Search only one manual section: + +<user> !man 3 printf +<slackfacts> user: printf(3): formatted output conversion + +-- Find files. This is a substring match, so: + +<user> !locate /bin/ls +<slackfacts> user: /bin/ls | /bin/lsblk | /bin/lsmod [l] | /usr/bin/ls [l] | + /usr/bin/lsattr | /usr/bin/lsb [l] | [too many results, only + showing first 5] + +[Note: symlinks are listed with [l] after the path] + +-- Find the ls command: + +<user> !which ls +<slackfacts> user: /bin/ls | /usr/bin/ls [l] + +-- Find packages by name, search all categories: + +<user> !pkgsearch core +<slackfacts> user: a/coreutils: core GNU utilities | kde/nepomuk-core: + Nepomuk Core utilities and libraries | l/at-spi2-core: + Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface core | + l/xapian-core: Search Engine Library + +With no options, !pkg is a synonym for !pkgsearch. + +-- Find packages by name, search one category: + +<user> !pkgsearch a/core +<slackfacts> user: a/coreutils: core GNU utilities + +-- Find which package owns a file. This is an exact match if you give an + absolute path (if the search term starts with a slash), or a substring + match otherwise. You can also use * for globbing (e.g. /bin/ls*). + +<user> !filesearch /bin/ls +<slackfacts> user: a/coreutils: core GNU utilities + +!pkg -f is a synonym for !filesearch. + +-- Find the source (and SlackBuild) for a package (exact match, no +globbing/wildcards allowed): + +<user> !srcsearch coreutils +<slackfacts> user: + https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-14.2/source/a/coreutils/ + +!pkg -s is a synonym for !srcsearch. + +If there had been an updated coreutils in patches/, the updated version's +source would have been found.
