RPMDB(8)                                                         RPMDB(8)

NAME         top

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

       rpmdb {--verifydb}

       rpmdb {--exportdb|--importdb}

DESCRIPTION         top

       The general form of an rpmdb command is

       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root
       DIRECTORY]

       Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist
       (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild
       the database indices from the installed package headers.

       --verifydb performs a low-level integrity check on the database.

       --exportdb exports the database in header-list format, suitable
       for transporting to another host or database type.

       --importdb imports a database from a header-list format as created
       by --exportdb.

       rpmdb --help - as rpm(8) supports customizing the options via popt
       aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the
       manual matches what's available.
