The command "rpmspec --query --srpm ${path-to-rpm-spec}" is used to query information about a source RPM (SRPM) file using the rpmspec tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "rpmspec" is the tool used to analyze and perform operations on RPM spec files.
- "--query" is the action flag that tells rpmspec to perform a query operation.
- "--srpm" is an option that specifies that the following argument is an SRPM file.
- "${path-to-rpm-spec}" is the path to the RPM spec file you want to query.
The purpose of the command is to extract specific information from the specified SRPM file's spec file. The spec file contains instructions and metadata for building the RPM package. By using this command, you can retrieve various details such as the package name, version, release, dependencies, and other relevant information stored in the RPM spec file.
