The provided code snippet is a shell script command used in macOS. Here's a breakdown of what it does:

for i in $(pkgutil --pkgs | grep -iE Adobe) ; do ; pkgutil --files $i ; done

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. pkgutil --pkgs:

   • The pkgutil --pkgs command lists all installed macOS packages on the system. Each package has a unique identifier (e.g., com.adobe.package.name).

2. grep -iE Adobe:

   • The grep -iE Adobe command filters the list of package identifiers returned by pkgutil --pkgs. It looks for package names that match the keyword "Adobe" (case-insensitive due to -i).

3. for i in $(...) ; do ; done:

   • This loop iterates over each package identifier (e.g., com.adobe.package.name) returned by the filtered list.

4. pkgutil --files $i:

   • For each package ($i) that matches "Adobe", the pkgutil --files command is run. This lists all the files installed on the system by that specific package.

Objective of the Script:

The script identifies all installed macOS packages that are Adobe-related (based on a match in their package name) and lists the files belonging to each of these packages.

Output:

• A list of all files installed by Adobe-related packages on the system.

Notes:

• The semicolons in the middle of the loop (; do ;) are unnecessarily duplicated and may cause a syntax error. The corrected loop should look like:

  for i in $(pkgutil --pkgs | grep -iE Adobe); do pkgutil --files $i; done
