How to List Contents of an RPM Package

To List Contents of an RPM File

If there is an RPM file available on local system, one can use the rpm command like so:

rpm -qlp /path/to/package.rpm

To list Contents of an Installed Package

If there is a package already installed, contents listing can be done with rpm:

rpm -ql package-name

or with dnf (a Fedora replacement for the original yum package manager):

dnf repoquery -l package-name

or with the repoquery command from the yum-utils package:

repoquery -l package-name
