Search RPMs for files using poldek

[Dirk Ullrich]

Hi,

when I want to find out which RPM provides a given file <foo>,
I can issue a search interactivley using poldek by:
poldek> search -f <foo>
Is there a possibility to do such a search non-interactively?

ipoldek rsearch -f /foo/

Thanks!:D

For me the best is:
ipoldek -q search -f *foo*

Hi, all,
thank you very much for all the tipps. They suggest that poldek seems
to have at least one thing in common with Perl:
There's always more than one way to do it.

For sheer curiosity I've explored the relationship of "poldek" and
"ipoldek" a bit. It seems to me that "ipoldek" (or, since "/usr/bin/ipoldek"
is a symlink to "/usr/bin/poldek", the calling of the "poldek" binary as
"ipoldek") is somethoing like an interactive variant of "poldek" with:

1. ipoldek has a set of commands which can used both
a. interactively--in the (i)poldek shell mode after calling "polek"; or
b. in batch mode by calling "ipoldek <cmd>" where <cmd> is
any "ipoldek" command.

2. poldek's native command set is more 'rpm-like', but every
ipoldek's command can by used either:
a. interactively--in the poldek shell mode after calling "poldek"; or
b. in batch mode by "poldek --cmd <cmd>".

Is this correct?

Dirk

P.S. poldek is really a nice tool.
