These are the example programs from MaximumRPM, updated to today's rpmlib.
|
|
You can find MaximumRPM on the http://www.rpm.org/ site.
|
|
|
|
To build these, edit the makefile as appropriate (if you're using gcc,
|
|
you should not have to change anything), then "make all". 3 utilities
|
|
will be built:
|
|
|
|
|
|
dumprpm: % dumprpm filename
|
|
|
|
Dumps a textual description of the the contents of the named RPM
|
|
file on disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
showdb: % showdb rpmname
|
|
|
|
Dumps a textual description of the named RPM. The RPM must be
|
|
currently installed in the database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
showdb2: % showdb2 rpmname
|
|
|
|
Dumps a textual description of the named RPM, like showdb. However,
|
|
uses a database query rather than a brute-force scan to locate the
|
|
rpm (should be much more efficient).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will also find the string.txt file. This documents the only
|
|
difficulty I had updating these programs.
