Deprecation notice

This project is deprecated in favor of apt-file utility. Package whatprovides and database file will be removed.

You can install apt-file package with next command:

pkg install apt-file

Depending on Termux version (< 0.118), you may need to fix permission of one file in $PREFIX (known issue):

chmod +x $PREFIX/lib/apt/apt-helper

Usage example:

~ $ apt-file update
~ $ apt-file list termux-tools
termux-tools: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/chsh
termux-tools: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/cmd

whatprovides

yum --whatprovides utility for termux.

• whatprovides can list files of any termux official packages, doesn't matter that package is installed or not, it uses own database to perform task.

• It can be used as reverse search, means provide full path of any file it will give you output of that pkg.

Installation:

pkg install whatprovides

Manual Installation:

pkg install git gawk gzip make sqlite
git clone https://github.com/termux/whatprovides
cd whatprovides
make install

Usage:

• List files of any package. For eg. aapt

$ whatprovides -p aapt
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/aapt
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/zipalign
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libandroid-base.so
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libandroid-cutils.so
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libandroid-fw.so
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libandroid-utils.so
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libandroid-ziparchive.so
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/aapt/android.jar
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/doc/aapt/LICENSE

$ whatprovides $PREFIX/share/aapt
aapt: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/aapt
