3장. Searching for RHEL content

Procedure

• Depending on your scenario, use one of the following options to search the repository:

  • To search for a term in the name or summary of packages, enter:

    $ dnf search <term>

  • To search for a term in the name, summary, or description of packages, enter:

    $ dnf search --all <term>

    Note that searching additionally in the description by using the --all option is slower than a normal search operation.

  • To search for a package name and list the package name and its version in the output, enter:

    $ dnf repoquery <package_name>

  • To search for which package provides a file, specify the file name or the path to the file:

    $ dnf provides <file_name>
