I'm installing c++ boost library by pacman -Ss boost-libs. After installation, I want to know where my package is installed in my system.
Is there any pacman command for doing so?

Pacman's settings are located in /etc/pacman.
The dpkg-query command can be used to show if a specific package is installed in your system. To do it, run dpkg-query followed by the -l flag and the name of the package you want information about.
Try this: isPackageInstalled() { pacman -Qi "$packageName" &> /dev/null echo $? }
I am not on my arch now to check, but I bet pacman -Ql boost-libs or pacman -Qk boost-libs will do the trick by providing you with the list of files installed by the package.
