I'm installing c++ boost library by pacman -Ss boost-libs. After installation, I want to know where my package is installed in my system.
Is there any pacman command for doing so?
pacman with the -Q flag, can display the installed location of the package. See pacman -Q --help for the respective suboptions of -Q flag.
The -Q flag is used to search for already installed packages.
The -F flag is used to search for remote packages. (as Liang Zhou mentioned)
pacman -Qh # Print help info
pacman -Q boost-libs # Display version
pacman -Ql boost-libs # Display file list provided by local package
pacman -Qk boost-libs # Check the local package database
pacman -Qo /path/to/file # Check if the file is owned by any package
