Archlinux/Pacman list installed packages with description

0

How do I list installed packages (by user) with a short description?

When I search for packages to install: pacman -Ss zsh, I get following result:
extra/zsh 5.7.1-1 [installed] A very advanced and programmable command interpreter (shell) for UNIX
I would like to get the same result using something like pacman -Qe.

pacman -Qs gives me the desired explanation, but it cannot be combined with the -e option. So I tried piping some outputs together using xargs and ended with a for loop: for i in \pacman -Qe | cut -d' ' -f1`; do pacman -Qs $i | grep -A1 --color "local/$i\s"; done` – ndueck – 2020-02-27T20:45:46.810
