'lci' is not a standard Linux command included in coreutils, busybox, or common packages across major distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, or Alpine. No man page exists for it in base systems.

It may refer to a niche third-party tool, such as the lci lightweight package manager project (written in C, ~1000 LOC, supports simple repositories similar to apk, available via source on GitHub). However, it requires manual compilation and installation, and is not widely used or packaged.

Common confusions include lspci (lists PCI devices), ls -i (list inodes), or container tools like crictl. Verify with which lci or man lci in your environment. Provide more context (distro, package) for precise details.

Not pre-installed; potential security risks from unmaintained third-party sources. Compile from source at own risk. Not suitable for production without verification.

Clone repo (e.g., git clone https://github.com/[project]/lci), run make && sudo make install. Check dependencies like libcurl.

Use standard tools like apt, dnf, or pacman for package management.

Originated as an experimental minimal package manager project around 2020-2022 on GitHub (e.g., lci-rs or similar C implementations). Aimed at simplicity for embedded Linux but saw limited adoption; development appears stalled.
