Where do I find the package "shasum"?

Sorry for such a newbie question, but I don't find it in pacman nor AUR nor google nor forum.

As I only get `sha1sum` in my system, so the question is where is the `shasum` package?

$ which shasum
/usr/bin/core_perl/shasum

$ pkgfile $(which shasum)
core/perl

pkgfile can help find the package containing a file. pkgfile is in the community repo.

An ugly way to accomplish the same task is to use Google:

site:www.archlinux.org/packages/ shasum

Install pkgfile from Community and search the file via

pkgfile -s xxx

Thank you all.

Also find it by `locate`. I forgot to `updatedb` so I didn't find it before.

$ sudo updatedb
$ locate shasum

@thisoldman, I see you use a `which shasum` so you must have manually include it in your PATH, isn't it?

Yet one more question, why `sha1sum` get the privilege to be put in `/usr/bin` while `shasum` not?

You can also do :

 pacman -Qo $(which shasum)

No need for the which....

> pacman -Qo shasum
/usr/bin/core_perl/shasum is owned by perl 5.16.1-1

@thisoldman, @xzy3186

you can simply do

$ pkgfile <query>

no need for $(which ...) or even for the -s switch, as it searches by default.
