NAME top

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS top

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

DESCRIPTION top

       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.

       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.
