The packages are listed by name in alphabetical order. If you specify a
pattern to match, it will follow this set of rules. A pattern with no
wildcards, ``*`` or ``?``, will be treated as though it started and ended iwth
``*``, so ``util`` is equivalent to ``*util*``. A pattern with no capitol
letters will be treated as case-insensitive. You can also add the ``-i`` flag
to specify a case insensitive search, or ``-d`` to search the description of
the package in addition to the name. Some examples:
.. command-output:: spack list m*
All packages whose names contain "sql" case insensitive:
.. command-output:: spack list *util*
.. command-output:: spack list sql
All packages whose names start with a capitol M:
.. command-output:: spack list M*
All packages whose names or descriptions contain Documentation:
.. command-output:: spack list -d Documentation
All packages whose names contain documentation case insensitive:
