pacinfo [options] package...

pacinfo displays detailed information about packages from the pacman database. It shows package metadata including name, version, description, dependencies, install date, size, and other attributes stored in the package database.
The tool can query both locally installed packages and packages available in configured repositories. It provides more detailed output options than pacman's built-in query commands, with machine-readable raw output for scripting.
