And on that page it said

--justdb
Update only the database, not the filesystem.
So from this it is apparent that it is updating the database and not putting anything on the filesystem. But it is not clear if it is running any preinstall scripts or anything. I think it is not. Hence my question asking someone to please confirm.

Honestly, if you don't want to answer a question, you don't have to, no one is asking you too, but don;'t go around telling people to RTFM when they have read it but are still not clear.

NAME
       rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool

SYNOPSIS
   QUERYING SPEC FILES:
       rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...

   select-options
	[--rpms]
	[--srpms]

   query-options
	[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
	[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]

   QUERY OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm spec query command is

       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

       You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the

	--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT

       option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string.	See rpm(8) for details.

   SELECT OPTIONS
	--rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
	--srpm Operate on the source package header(s).

       rpmsign(8),
       rpm2cpio(8),
       rpmbuild(8),

       rpmspec	--help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
       matches what's available.
