1 ## List and query all the applications available on the database 2 This section covers the procedures for consulting the lists of applications available in this database and on third-party ones. 3 4 ### List 5 Option `-l` or `list` shows the whole list of apps available in this repository and on third-party ones. 6 7 This option uses `less` to show the list, so to exit its enough to press "**Q**". 8 9 By default, only apps available on this repository are shown 10 ``` 11 am -l 12 ``` 13 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f020316f-711c-4086-8ba8-d611f7c7a03d 14 15 To see only the AppImages from this list, use the `--appimages` flag 16 ``` 17 am -l --appimages 18 ``` 19 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c52d373-78ae-4f8e-b053-d212ae84b55a 20 21 To see only the programs available on the Toolpacks repository, add the `--toolpack` flag 22 ``` 23 am -l --toolpack 24 ``` 25 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb20003d-02bc-419f-8ffe-80c17b915ea8 26 27 To see all the programs available in all the supported databases, use the `--all` flag instead 28 ``` 29 am -l --all 30 ``` 31 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/02d24f0c-0a7a-4c69-8463-59cf00e75cd1 32 33 As you may have guessed, the lists are very long. However, you can use the `-q` or `query` option to search them, using the same flags. See below. 34 35 ### Query 36 Option `-q` or `query` shows search results from the lists above. 37 38 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1b2f3f3b-fe22-416f-94d8-d5e0465b3f6d 39 40 ``` 41 am -q {KEYWORD} 42 am -q --all {KEYWORD} 43 am -q --appimages {KEYWORD} 44 am -q --toolpak {KEYWORD} 45 am -q --pkg {PROGRAM1} {PROGRAM2} 46 ``` 47 48 If followed by `--appimages`, the search results will be only for the available AppImages from the "AM" database. 49 50 If followed by `--pkg`, all keywords will be listed also if not on the same line. This is good if you are looking for multiple packages among the ones available in the "AM" database. 51 52 If followed by `--toolpack`, the search results will be only for available programs from the "Toolpacks" database. 53 54 If sollowed by `all`, the search results will be from all supported databases. 55 56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 57 58 | [Back to "Guides and tutorials"](../../README.md#guides-and-tutorials) | [Back to "Main Index"](../../README.md#main-index) | ["Portable Linux Apps"](https://portable-linux-apps.github.io/) | [ "AppMan" ](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan) | 59 | - | - | - | - | 60 61 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
