SYNOPSIS

       spectool [<options>] <specfile>

DESCRIPTION

       Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles.

       If you experience problems with specific specfiles, try to run

	      rpmbuild --nobuild --nodeps <specfile>

       on  the	file which might give a clue why spectool fails on a file (ignore anything about missing sources or patches). The plan is to catch
       errors like this in spectool itself and warn the user about it in the future.

       -l, --lf, --list-files
	      lists the expanded sources/patches (default)

       -g, --gf, --get-files

       -h, --help
	      display this help screen

   Files on which to operate:
       -A, --all
	      all files, sources and patches (default)

       -S, --sources
	      all sources

       -P, --patches
	      all patches

       -s, --source x[,y[,...]]
	      specified sources

       -p, --patch a[,b[,...]]
	      specified patches

   Miscellaneous:
       -d, --define 'macro value'
	      defines RPM macro 'macro' to be 'value'

       -C, --directory dir
	      download into specified directory (default '.')

       -R, --sourcedir
	      download into rpm's %{_sourcedir}

       -n, --dryrun, --dry-run
	      don't download anything, just show what would be done

       -f, --force
	      try to unlink and download if target files exist

       -D, --debug
	      output debug info, don't clean up when done
