Displaying information on non-installed RPM package?

Question

I googled for this, but couldn't find how to query a non-installed RPM file for its information:

# rpm -qa blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm #  # rpm -qi blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm package blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm is not installed #  # rpm -q blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm package blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm is not installed #  # rpm --info  blackfin-jtag-tools-09r1.1-2.i386.rpm RPM version 4.8.0 Copyright (C) 1998-2002 - Red Hat, Inc.

Is there a command to read information out of non-installed RPM file?

Answer 1

rpm -qip foo.rpm

Answer 2

@crazyscot did answer the question. Thanks.

Additionally, I found that specific querytags can also be leveraged this way, which wasn't obvious from reading the man page. So, for example, I found I can do the following:

    rpm -qp --queryformat '%{ARCH}\n' foo.rpm 

or, even:

    xyz="ARCH";  rpm -qp --qf %{${xyz}}  foo.rpm; echo "" 

This works nicely for RPM's that are not installed, and leveraging the available querytags in the installed rpm
