What does dpkg -I command do?

The command dpkg -I (with a capital "I") is used to display information about a Debian package file without installing it. This command provides details such as the package name, version, architecture, maintainer, and description.

Here's how you would use it:

dpkg -I package_name.deb

Replace package_name.deb with the actual name of the .deb file you want to inspect. The output will give you a summary of the package's metadata, which can be useful for understanding what the package contains before installation. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
