Terminal command used in Welcome app for "Update Arch Mirrors"

Everything works for me updating the Arch Mirrors using the Welcome app, I’m just curious: what is the terminal command that is ran when you update from the app?

I think for the EOS mirrors update is:

eos-rankmirrors --verbose

But I have failed to find the command used for the Arch Mirrors update.

Thank you

You can see the command in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
In my case it’s

reflector --country Germany --age 6 --latest 10 --threads 21 --sort rate --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Edit: Must be run as root or with sudo.

The command is (unsurprisingly)
reflector-simple

My fault at explaining, I was looking to find the command to bypass the GUI launcher…

If I copy your command it works and update the mirrorlist, but the command run with the app that I can find in the file is:

reflector --verbose -c DE --protocol https --sort age --latest 20 --download-timeout 5

It was missing the final --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to work correctly :+1:
