NAME
       dnf5-provides - Provides Command

SYNOPSIS
       dnf5 provides [global options] <package-spec>...

DESCRIPTION
       The provides command in DNF5 finds the packages providing the given
       <package-spec>.  It can match specs by Provides or by filename.

EXAMPLES

       dnf5 provides tito
              Outputs which packages provide the command tito.


       dnf5 provides /usr/bin/tito
              Outputs which package provides the file /usr/bin/tito


       dnf5 provides zless
              There is no Provides for zless but a package that contains zless exist.
              Outputs the package that provides the file /usr/bin/zless


       NOTE:
          New behavior: if one or more packages are not found by provides DNF5
          will now return exit code 1 and list all provides that do not match
          at the end of the output.

       dnf5 provides rpm nonexistent_package
              Output provides for rpm and inform in stderr that nonexistent_package
              did not match any result.
