DESCRIPTION

16       The general form of an rpmdb command is
17
18       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]
19
20       Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (ex‐
21       isting database is not overwritten), use  --rebuilddb  to  rebuild  the
22       database indices from the installed package headers.
23
24       --verifydb performs a low-level integrity check on the database.
25
26       --exportdb  exports  the  database  in header-list format, suitable for
27       transfporting to another host or database type.
28
29       --importdb imports a database from a header-list format as  created  by
30       --exportdb.
