¹ If the abs and/or aur commands are present, sudo abs and sudo aur are also called to update the ABS and AUR databases.

² Yay and Yaourt aliases overlap. If both are installed, yay will take precedence.

³ The upgrade alias is set for all package managers. Its value will depend on whether the package manager is installed, checked in the following order:

1. yay
2. yaourt
3. trizen
4. pacaur
5. aura
6. pacman
