NAME
rpmdb - RPM Database Tool
SYNOPSIS
rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb}
rpmdb {--verifydb}
rpmdb {--exportdb|--importdb}
DESCRIPTION
The general form of an rpmdb command is
rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root
DIRECTORY]
Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist
(existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
database indices from the installed package headers.
--verifydb performs a low-level integrity check on the database.
--exportdb exports the database in header-list format, suitable for
transporting to another host or database type.
--importdb imports a database from a header-list format as created by
--exportdb.

rpmdb --help - as rpm(8) supports customizing the options via popt
aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the
manual matches what's available.
