NAME¶

command-not-found - A command-not-found handler

SYNOPSIS¶

command-not-found {binary_name} {repository}

ARGUMENTS¶

The following arguments are required:

binary_name

repository

DESCRIPTION¶

the command-not-found handler searches the package a missing command belongs to.

The handler is integrated into the bash(1) and zsh(1) shells and doesn't need to be called directly. Just type the name of a command in your favourite shell and you'll get a result.

If you consider the c-n-f handler useless, just add unset command_not_found_handle to your profile or remove the command-not-found package.

The handler doesn't call the command-not-found binary directly, it only prints info about it. If you want to invoke it automatically, just add export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_AUTO=1 to your bash profile.

If you want to install found packages, add export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_INSTALL=1 to your bash profile.

EXAMPLE: NORMAL USAGE¶

For example you want to try blender, because you have heard that is an amazing program. So just type blender in your shell:

$ blender

You get the following output:

The program 'blender' can be found in the following package:


  * blender [ path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.1-0) ]
Try installing with:


    sudo zypper install blender
bash: blender: command not found
