RPMDB(8)							      RPMDB(8)

NAME
       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS
       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

       rpmdb {**--verifydb}

       rpmdb {--exportdb|--importdb}

DESCRIPTION
       The general form	of an rpmdb command is

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

       Use --initdb to create a	new database if	one doesn't already exist (ex-
       isting  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
       transfporting to	another	host or	database type.

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

       spec(8)

       rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing	the options via	 popt  aliases
       it's impossible to guarantee that what's	described in the manual	match-
       es what's available.
