It is often needed to have quickly infos on a particle.
The pdg and particle_print commands are here for that.
EsbRootView_insh$ pdg -version
pdg_table_root_6_16_00
EsbRootView_insh$ pdg e-
e- 11 Mass: 0.0005 Width (GeV): Stable Charge: -3.0
Channel Code BranchingRatio Nd ...................Daughters....................
0 102 0.00000e+00 2 gamma( 22) e-( 11)

2 102 0.00000e+00 2 W-( -24) nu_e( 12)
3 102 0.00000e+00 2 h0( 25) e-( 11)
EsbRootView_insh$ pdg 11
e- 11 Mass: 0.0005 Width (GeV): Stable Charge: -3.0
Channel Code BranchingRatio Nd ...................Daughters....................
0 102 0.00000e+00 2 gamma( 22) e-( 11)
1 102 0.00000e+00 2 Z0( 23) e-( 11)

3 102 0.00000e+00 2 h0( 25) e-( 11)
And with particle_print:
EsbRootView_insh$ particle_print -cut=code==11 name charge mass
pdg particles (1) with cut "code==11" :
name charge mass
e- -3 0.000510999
EsbRootView_insh$ particle_print -cut=name=="'e-'" charge
pdg particles (1) with cut "name=='e-'" :
charge
-3
EsbRootView_insh$ particle_print -cut=fabs(code)<=11 name charge mass code
pdg particles (19) with cut "fabs(code)<=11" :
