NAME
rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool
SYNOPSIS
QUERYING SPEC FILES:
rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...
PARSING SPEC FILES TO STDOUT:
rpmspec {-P|--parse} SPEC_FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
rpmspec is a tool for querying a spec file. More specifically for
querying hypothetical packages which would be created from the given
spec file. So querying a spec file with rpmspec is similar to querying
a package built from that spec file. But is is not identical. With rpm-
spec you can't query all fields which you can query from a built pack-
age. E. g. you can't query BUILDTIME with rpmspec for obvious reasons.
You also cannot query other fields automatically generated during a
build of a package like auto generated dependencies.
select-options
[--rpms]
[--srpm]
query-options
[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]
QUERY OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm spec query command is
rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
You may specify the format that the information should be printed in.
To do this, you use the
--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT
option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for de-
tails.
SELECT OPTIONS
--rpms Operate on the all binary package headers generated from spec.
--builtrpms Operate only on the binary package headers of packages
which would be built from spec. That means ignoring package headers of
packages that won't be built from spec i. e. ignoring package headers
of packages without file section.
--srpm Operate on the source package header(s) generated from spec.
EXAMPLES
Get list of binary packages which would be generated from the rpm spec
file:
$ rpmspec -q rpm.spec
rpm-4.11.3-3.fc20.x86_64
rpm-libs-4.11.3-3.fc20.x86_64
rpm-build-libs-4.11.3-3.fc20.x86_64
...
Get summary infos for single binary packages generated from the rpm spec file:
$ rpmspec -q --qf "%{name}: %{summary}\n" rpm.spec
rpm: The RPM package management system
rpm-libs: Libraries for manipulating RPM packages
rpm-build-libs: Libraries for building and signing RPM packages
...
Get the source package which would be generated from the rpm spec file:
$ rpmspec -q --srpm rpm.spec
rpm-4.11.3-3.fc20.x86_64
Parse the rpm spec file to stdout:
$ rpmspec -P rpm.spec
Summary: The RPM package management system

rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt
aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the man-
ual matches what's available.
