flox show command

NAME

flox-show - show detailed information about a single package

SYNOPSIS

flox [<general-options>] show <search-term>

DESCRIPTION

Show detailed information about a single package.

The default output includes the package description, name, and version.

Package names

Packages are organized in a hierarchical structure such that certain packages are found at the top level (e.g. ripgrep), and other packages are found under package sets (e.g. python310Packages.pip). We call this location within the catalog the “pkg-path”.

The pkg-path is searched when you execute a flox search command. The pkg-path is what’s shown by flox show. Finally, the pkg-path appears in your manifest after a flox install.

[install]
ripgrep.pkg-path = "ripgrep"
pip.pkg-path = "python310Packages.pip"
