rpmspec: List binary packages which would be generated from a rpm spec file.
$ rpmspec --query ${path-to-rpm-spec}
try on your machine

The command rpmspec --query ${path-to-rpm-spec} is used to query information about an RPM package specified by its .spec file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • rpmspec is a tool provided by the RPM package management system, specifically used for manipulating RPM package spec files.
  • --query is an option/flag used with rpmspec to request details about an RPM package.
  • ${path-to-rpm-spec} is a placeholder for the actual path to the .spec file of the target RPM package. You need to replace this placeholder with the correct path to the .spec file on your system.

When you run this command, rpmspec reads the .spec file specified by ${path-to-rpm-spec} and provides information about the RPM package, such as its name, version, release, build requirements, dependencies, and other relevant details.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
