NAME

6       yum verify plugin

SYNOPSIS

9       yum [options] verify [package ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  plugin  extends  yum  with  some  commands that give verification
13       information on the installed system, much like rpm -V. You  can  change
14       how the verification is done and which files it applies to.
15
16       added yum commands are:
17        * verify
18        * verify-rpm
19        * verify-all
20
21       all of which take the same arguments as the list yum command, obviously
22       you can only verify packages that are installed on the system.
23
24       verify Is the generic verification command, and is intended to give the
25              most useful output. It removes all false matches due to multilib
26              and ignores changes to configuration files by default.
27
28       verify-rpm
29              Is meant to be 100% compatible with rpm -V output, and any  dif‐
30              ferences should be considered as bugs.
31
32       verify-all
33              Is  used  to  list  all the differences, including some that rpm
34              itself will ignore.
35

GENERAL OPTIONS

37       These are the options added to yum that are  available  in  the  verify
38       commands.  They are:
39
40       --verify-filenames
41              This  option  is  used  to limit the filenames that the packages
42              will perform verification.
43
44       --verify-configuration-files
45              This option is only useful in the generic  verify  command,  and
46              will  enable/disable  verification  of  files that are tagged as
47              configuration files.

EXAMPLES

50       To do the same as rpm -Va, use:
51
52              yum verify-rpm
53
54       To verify the packages starting with the name yum, use:
55
56              yum verify 'yum*'
57
58       To verify the binaries that are in a bin directory, use:
59
60              yum verify --verify-filenames='*bin/*'
61
62       To verify all include files, Eg. for multilib problems, use:
63
64              yum verify-all --verify-filenames='/usr/include/*'

BUGS

78       Currently yum-verify does not do verify-script checking or dependency checking,
79       only file checking.
