tlmgr search

Search for TeX Live packages using (Perl) regex. More information: https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#search.

• Search for a package name and descriptions of all locally installed packages from a specific regex:

tlmgr search "{{regex}}"

• Search for all file names of all locally installed packages from a regex:

tlmgr search --file "{{regex}}"

• Search for all file names, package names, and descriptions of all locally installed packages from a regex:

tlmgr search --all "{{regex}}"

• Search the TeX Live database, instead of the local installation:

tlmgr search --global "{{regex}}"

• Restrict the matches for package names and descriptions (but not for file names) to whole words:

tlmgr search --all --word "{{regex}}"
