pacman to find which package provides an executable [solved]

I'm attempting to compile cuda_memtest.  Per the README, the make step fails:

$ make
nvcc -c -arch sm_13 -DSM_13 -O3  -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include  -o cuda_memtest.o cuda_memtest.cu
make: nvcc: Command not found
make: *** [cuda_memtest.o] Error 127

I'm obviously missing nvcc but am unsure how/if pacman can be used to identify which package would provide it.

I would use pkgfile to do that :

pkgfile -r ".*nvcc.*" 

(-r for regex)

Nice, thanks!  The answer is cuda-toolkit in the AUR by the way.
