NAME
rpmdeps - Generate RPM Package Dependencies
SYNOPSIS
rpmdeps [options] [OPERATION]
rpmdeps [options] [OPERATION] FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
rpmdeps generates package dependencies for one or more files, received either as a list of filenames on the standard input, or command line arguments.
rpmdeps is not normally invoked directly, but doing so can be useful for troubleshooting dependency generation and developing new dependency generators. The installation directory of rpmdeps can be determined with rpm -E "%{_rpmconfigdir}".
Note that the actual rpmdeps command is only used for automatic dependency generation in a legacy compatibility mode of rpmbuild(1).
