The `particle` command is a Python-based command-line tool designed for manipulating and querying particle data. It provides functionalities for retrieving particle information such as names, IDs, quantum numbers, and masses from a particle database. It is built upon the `Particle` Python package and offers a convenient way to access its features directly from the terminal. The tool is particularly useful for high-energy physics researchers and students involved in particle physics analysis, simulations, and event generation. With the `particle` command, you can quickly find details about particles, verify their properties, and utilize them in your workflows without needing to write custom Python scripts for basic information retrieval. It supports various output formats and search options, allowing you to tailor the information presented to your specific needs.

particle Electron
Display information about the Electron.
particle -i 11
Display information about the particle with PDG ID 11.
particle -f '{name} {mass}' Electron
Display only the name and mass of the Electron.

The `particle` command is relatively recent tool and relies heavily on the Particle Python library for its functionalities. Its development aims to simplify access to particle physics data within shell scripting environments, promoting easier integration into existing physics analysis workflows. The command is maintained and improved by the Particle library developers.
