RPMDB(8)                                       System Manager's Manual                                       RPMDB(8)



NAME
       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS
       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}


DESCRIPTION
       The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is

       rpm {--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.

       rpm --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.
