rpm useful commands

list files installed by an INSTALLED rpm (for an UNINSTALLED rpm, add -p and provide full path to .rpm file):

rpm -ql nginx.x86_64

or also (if the rpm is not installed yet) repoquery --list nginx.x86_64

verify that rpm installed files have not been tampered

rpm -V nginx.x86_64

display the postinstall and postuninstall scripts

rpm -q --scripts nginx.x86_64

which rpm provides a given file:

rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/sbin/nginx
or also
rpm -qf /usr/sbin/nginx

for a REALLY verbose verification output:

rpm -Vvv nginx.x86_64
