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)

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

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

   Miscellaneous:
       -d, --define 'macro value'

	      try to unlink and download if target files exist
