To list the files that are included in an RPM package on a Linux system, you can use the rpm
command with the -ql
option.
For example, to list the files in the package_name
RPM package, you can use the following command:
rpm -ql package_name
This will list the files that are included in the package_name
RPM package, along with their paths.
You can also use the -qp
option to list the files in an RPM package that is not installed on the system. For example:
rpm -qp package.rpm
Replace package.rpm
with the path to the RPM package file.
You can also use the -qlp
option to list the files in an RPM package file in a long format, which includes the file size, modification time, and other information. For example:
rpm -qlp package.rpm
The rpm
command is a powerful tool for managing RPM packages on a Linux system. You can use it to install, upgrade, and remove packages, as well as query and verify the contents of installed packages.
It's a good idea to use the rpm
command to list the files in an RPM package before installing it, to ensure that you are aware of what will be installed on your system. This can help you to avoid installing unnecessary or unwanted software.
