RPMDB(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  RPMDB(8)

NAME

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

DESCRIPTION

       The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]

       Use  --initdb  to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
       database indices from the installed package headers.

       rpmbuild(8),
       rpmspec(8),

       rpm --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.
