RPM usage
Friends,
I've middle level understanding in Linux & I was going through the man pages where I got stuck to understand the functionality of -p parameter generally used along with -q & -V
RedHat documentation says -p is used for querying/verifying the uninstalled package file-name passed as an argument to it.
Could someone explain this to me with examples from a live system pls?

dh_installexamples
DH_INSTALLEXAMPLES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLEXAMPLES(1)
NAME
dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installexamples [debhelperoptions] [-A] [-Xitem] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing examples into usr/share/doc/package/examples in package build
directories.
From debhelper compatibility level 11 on, dh_install will fall back to looking in debian/tmp for files, if it does not find them in the
current directory (or wherever you've told it to look using --sourcedir).
FILES
debian/package.examples
Lists example files or directories to be installed.
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Install any files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.
--sourcedir=dir
Look in the specified directory for files to be installed. This option requires compat 11 or later (it is silently ignored in compat
10 or earlier).
Note that this is not the same as the --sourcedirectory option used by the dh_auto_* commands. You rarely need to use this option,
since dh_installexamples automatically looks for files in debian/tmp in debhelper compatibility level 11 and above.
--doc-main-package=main-package
Set the main package for a documentation package. This is used to install the documentation of the documentation package in
/usr/share/doc/main-package as recommended by the Debian policy manual 3.9.7 in S12.3.
In compat 11 (or later), this option is only useful if debhelper's auto-detection of the main package is wrong. The option can also be
used to silence a warning from debhelper when the auto-detection fails but the default happens to be correct.
This option cannot be used when dh_installexamples is instructed to act on multiple packages. If you need this option, you will
generally need to combine it with -p to ensure exactly one package is acted on.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.
file ...
Install these files (or directories) as examples into the first package acted on. (Or into all packages if -A is specified.)
NOTES
Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install
a directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.

This program is a part of debhelper.
