rpm: List package-owned files.
$ rpm --query --list ${kernel}
try on your machine

The command "rpm --query --list ${kernel}" is used to query and list the contents of the specified kernel package using the RPM package manager. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rpm": This command invokes the RPM package manager on the Linux system.
  • "--query": This flag is used to indicate that the command is querying information about a package.
  • "--list": This flag specifies that the command is asking for a list of files contained in the package.
  • "${kernel}": This is a variable representing the name of the kernel package you want to query and list files from. You would replace "${kernel}" with the actual name of the kernel package you want to work with.

Overall, the command is used to obtain a list of files contained within a specific kernel package installed on the system.
