NAME

6       rpmdep - display the full dependency of an installed rpm package
7

DESCRIPTION

9       rpmdep search recursively for package dependencies.  It resolvs all
10       dependencies to package names.  It can also prepare a file to build a
11       graph of dependencies, with graphviz.
12

SYNOPSIS

14       rpmdep.pl  [options] package
15
16       options:
17
18          -help                brief help message
19          -man                 full documentation
20          -V, --version        print version
21          -use-cache           use cache file instead rpm query
22          -clear-cache         clear cache file
23
24          -verbose             verbose
25          -dot dotfile         build a dot file for graphviz
26

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

28       the package to resolv
29

OPTIONS

31       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.
32
33       -man    Print the manual page and exits.
34
35       -version
36               Print the program release and exit.
37
38       -verbose
39               The program works and print debugging messages.
40
41       -dot    create a dot file to be used by graphviz
42
43       -use-cache
44               the rpm query may be long (10 to 30 s). If you will run an
45               rpmorphan tool several time, this option will allow to gain a
46               lot of time : it save the rpm query on a file cache (first
47               call), then use this cache instead quering rpm (others calls).
48
49       -clear-cache
50               to remove cache file. Can be used with -use-cache to write a
51               new cache.
52
