### Searching for Packages by File
Sometimes it is useful to determine which package provides a specific file.
Before searching the file database it has to be synchronized.
```sh
sudo pacman -Fy
```
Afterward, search for one or more file names by replacing `<file>` with the desired file.
```sh
pacman -F <file>
```

configuration file.
