RedHat 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?
