NAME
       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS
       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

       rpmdb {--verifydb}

       rpmdb {--exportdb|--importdb}

DESCRIPTION
       The general form of an rpmdb command is

       rpm {--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
       transfporting to another host or database type.

       --importdb imports a database from a header-list format as created by
       --exportdb.

       rpmspec(8)

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