NAME

   rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS

   rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

DESCRIPTION

   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.
