-A `pacman` helper script, because you forget the stupid flags
+A `pacman` helper script, because you forget all the stupid flags
 
 ## Usage / Features:
+- aur/yay
 - search
+- info
+- localinfo
+- provides
+- providefiles
+- installed
+- install
 - update
 - upgradable
 - upgrade
-- install
+- remove
-- provides
+- purge
+- clean
+- reflector
 - config
 
-`config` is the only flag that is not appended to `pacman`, instead it resolves to `nano /etc/pacman.conf`.
+`reflector` and `config` are the only flag that are not appended to `pacman` (or `yay`)<br>
+instead `reflector` resolves to `reflector` with the previously used parameters stored in `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`<br>
+and `config` resolves to `nano /etc/pacman.conf`.
 
-`sudo` gets prepended automatically if the command requires it and if installed - no, there is no check if your user is in the `sudo` group, if you download this script you should already be, or know you can only use part of this utility
+`sudo` gets prepended automatically if the command requires root privileges, if the UID is not 0 (you are not `root`) and if `sudo` installed.<br>
+no, there is no check if your user is in the `sudo` group, if you download this script you should already be, or know you can only use part of this utility<br>
+tho such a feature is planned, to make the script truly ubiquitus.
