Getting the recipe (conanfile.py) of a conan package?

For some package P in my local cache, how do I get the recipe (conanfile.py) of package P?

For example, let's take a conan package called:

zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable

I can install this package into my local cache from conan-center like so:

$ conan install zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable --remote conan-center

How do I unpack the recipe (conanfile.py) of this zlib package into the current directory?

$ mkdir zlib
$ cd zlib
$ conan ??? zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable
         ^.... what goes here?
$ cat conanfile.py

You are looking for conan get command. It can be used like:

conan get zlib/1.2.8@conan/stable -r conan-center

This will print conanfile and you don't even need to cat it afterwards. More details about conan get here: https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/commands/consumer/get.html
