       The general form of an rpmdb command is

       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpathDIRECTORY] [--rootDIRECTORY]

       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.

       --verifydb performs a low-level integrity check on the database.

       --exportdb exports the database in header-list format, suitable  for  transporting  to  another  host  or
       database type.

       --importdb imports a database from a header-list format as created by --exportdb.

       rpmdb--help  - as rpm(8) supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee
       that what's described in the manual matches what's available.
