NAME

       yum aliases plugin

SYNOPSIS

       yum [options] alias

DESCRIPTION

       This  plugin changes other commands in yum, much like the alias command in bash. There are a couple of notable differences from shell style
       aliases though. The alias command has three forms:
	* alias
	* alias command
	* alias command result

       The first form lists all current aliases with their final result, the second form looks up a "command" and shows it's final  result  or	an
       error message. The last form creates a new alias.

Explanation of alias to final result conversion
       When  you  type	an aliased command, like "yum --disableexcludes UPT lsu" using the default aliases, the yum-aliases plugin first takes the
       first "command", by skipping over any options, and then looks up the result (in this case "UPT" is converted to "--enablerepo=updates-test-
       ing").  If  there  is  a  match,  then  it  will  replace the aliased "command" in the argument list and try again (again skipping over any
       options). By convention, in the default aliases list, alias "commands" that are in all CAPS only add options so you  can  join  together  a
       chain of them before any real command or aliased command.

       There  are two things that can alter the above, if you have the "recursive" configuration option set to off then alias processing will stop
       after the first alias to command substitution. Also, like in shell aliases, if the result starts with  then alias processing will stop.

EXAMPLES

       To create a new alias command called "rm" which does the same thing as the command "remove" use:

	      yum alias rm remove

       To always add the --skip-broken --disableexcludes=all --obsoletes options to the update command (but leaving the upgrade option alone), you
       could use:

	      yum alias update update	--skip-broken --disableexcludes=all --obsoletes

       To override the default "up" alias to use the above update command, and never ask for confirmation, you could use:

	      yum alias up update -y

NAME

       yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell

SYNOPSIS

       yum shell [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       yum includes an interactive shell for conducting multiple commands or sets of commands during a single execution of yum. These commands can
       be issued manually or passed to yum from a file. The commands are much the same as the normal yum command line options. See here yum(8) for
       that information. There are a few additional commands documented below.

       config
		 [argument] [value]
		 args: debuglevel, errorlevel, obsoletes, gpgcheck, assumeyes, exclude
		   If no value is given it prints the current value.
		   If value is given it sets that value.

       repo
		 [argument] [option]
		   list: lists repositories and their status
		   enable: enable repositories. option = repository id
		   disable: disable repositories. option = repository id

       transaction
		 [argument]
		   list: lists the contents of the transaction
		   reset: reset (zero-out) the transaction
		   solve: run the dependency solver on the transaction
		   run: run the transaction

Examples
       The following are examples of using the yum shell.

	       list available packagename*
	       groupinfo 'Some Group'
	       install foo
	       remove bar
	       update baz
	       run

	      That  will  list	available packages matching the glob 'packagename*'.  It will return information on the group 'Some Group' It will
	      then queue the following commands into  the transaction: install foo, remove bar, update baz. Then the 'run'  command  will  resolve
	      dependencies for the transaction commands and run the transaction.
