The rpmspec --querytags
command is used to display the available specfile tags that can be used in RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) specfiles.
When creating an RPM package, a specfile is used to define the various attributes and instructions for building the package. These tags provide a way to specify information such as the package name, version, dependencies, build requirements, file locations, and more.
The rpmspec --querytags
command allows you to see a list of all the available tags that you can use in your specfile. This can be helpful when you're writing or modifying a specfile and need to know what tags are available to use for different purposes.
By running this command, you'll get a list of tags like %name
, %version
, %description
, %requires
, %buildroot
, %files
, %changelog
, and so on. These tags serve as placeholders that will be replaced with actual values or instructions during the RPM packaging process.
Overall, rpmspec --querytags
command helps you to know the valid tags and their usage in RPM specfiles, enabling you to define and customize the desired behavior and attributes of your RPM packages.
