This sets up `bash`'s `command_not_found_handle()` functionality so that when a command cannot be found in `PATH`, it will use `pkgfile` to check for that command in the `pacman` sync databases. Another mechanism should be used to keep `pkgfile`'s databases up to date. This sets up `bash`'s `command_not_found_handle()` functionality so that when a command cannot be found in `PATH`, it will use `pkgfile` to check for that command in its databases, which are derived from the same [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Search_for_a_package_that_contains_a_specific_file|databases that `pacman -F` uses.]]
To keep these databases updated, `pkgfile` ships [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pkgfile#Automatic_updates|a systemd timer]] that runs the update command daily.
