RPMSPEC(8) RPMSPEC(8)
rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool
QUERYING SPEC FILES:
rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE
...
PARSING SPEC FILES TO STDOUT:
rpmspec {-P|--parse} SPEC_FILE ...
INVOKING MACRO SHELL:
rpmspec {–shell} [SPEC_FILE ...]
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 rpmspec you can't query all fields which
you can query from a built package. 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
details.
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.
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
Name: rpm
Version: 4.14.0
...
Run interactive macro shell for debugging macros:
$ rpmspec --shell
> %define foo bar
> %foo
bar
> %(date)
Tue Apr 13 03:55:37 PM EEST 2021
> %getncpus
8
Run interactive macros shell in spec context:
$ rpmspec --shell popt.spec
%name
popt
%version
1.18
popt(3), rpm(8), rpmdb(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8),
rpmbuild(8)
rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt
aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the
manual matches what's available.
