# Commando
A fast utility to search which packages provide a specific command on
Arch and Arch based systems.
## Why
Because `pacman -F` was too slow to be set as fallback for a "command
not found" exception in a shell.
## How to use it
### Database creation/update
Right after installing it, create your database with:
``` bash
$ commando -u
```
It may take a while depending on your connection speed and your
computer, but you only need to create/update your database the first
time and every once in a while. I'd suggest perhaps once every one or
two months, but it's entirely up to you.
### Database search
Now you're ready to search with `commando`!
Just search your command with:
``` bash
$ commando command-name
```
For example, if I'd want to see which packages provide the `ls` command,
I would just do:
``` bash
$ commando ls
```
For further usage instructions, please execute:
``` bash
$ commando --help
```
*Note: command search is case sensitive, this means that, for example,
searching for `LS` won't give the same results as `ls`*
## How to install
### AUR
(AUR release is coming soon)
### Cargo
If you have cargo installed and your `$PATH` is set up properly you can use
``` bash
$ cargo install arch-commando
```
to download, build and install `commando`
### Building
You can compile it by cloning this repo and then executing:
``` bash
$ cargo build --release
```
Then you'll have your binary placed in `./target/release/commando`,
simply move it to somewhere in your `$PATH`.
