+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This is an auxiliary tool to the RedHat Package Manager (\s-1RPM\s0). It
+provides additional functionality for use in \s-1RPM\s0 \fIspec\fR files while
+building packages. The following \fIcommand\fRs are available:
+.IP "\fBplatform\fR" 4
+.IX Item "platform"
+This command outputs a unique platform id in the format
+\&\*(L"<architecture>\-<system><release>\*(R". For instance, the output on a
+FreeBSD platform can be \*(L"i386\-freebsd4.2\*(R", the output on a Linux
+platform can be \*(L"i686\-linux2.2.16\*(R", the output on a Solaris platform can
+be \*(L"sun4u\-sunos5.8\*(R", etc.

+.IP "\fBmflags\fR [\fB\-O\fR] \fItool\fR" 4
+.IX Item "mflags [-O] tool"
+This command outputs additional flags for \fImake\fR\|(1) for
+use with the program \fItool\fR. It provides only standard flags which
+always can be used. In conjunction with \fB\-O\fR (optimization), it also provides
+reasonable job control for use on multi-processor platforms (for instance it
+outputs \*(L"\-j4\*(R" on an \s-1SMP\s0 system with 2 CPUs if \s-1GNU\s0 make or \s-1BSD\s0 pmake is used).

+Example:

+.Vb 1
+\& make `rpmtool mflags -O make`
+.Ve
+.IP "\fBcflags\fR [\fB\-O\fR] \fItool\fR" 4
+.IX Item "cflags [-O] tool"
+This command outputs additional flags for \fIcc\fR\|(1) for use with the program
+\&\fItool\fR. It provides only standard flags which always can be used.
+conjunction with \fB\-O\fR it provides also optimization flags (for instance
+it outputs \*(L"\-O2 \-pipe\*(R" for \s-1GNU\s0 C/\*(C+ compiler).

+.IX Item "cppflags [-p prefix] [[+|-subdir ...]"
+This command output \fIcpp\fR\|(1) \f(CW\*(C`\-I\*(C'\fR options for the OpenPKG instance
+\&\fIprefix\fR. It optionally can prefix or suffix with one or more \fIsubdir\fR
+related options, too. If \fIsubdir\fR is prefixed with \f(CW\*(C`+\*(C'\fR (or not
+prefixed at all), the generated option is appended. If \fIsubdir\fR is
+prefixed with \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR the generated option is prepended.

+.IP "\fBfiles\fR [\fB\-v\fR] [\fB\-o\fR \fIoutfile\fR] [\fB\-r\fR \fIbuild-root\fR] [\fIentry\fR ...]" 4
+.IX Item "files [-v] [-o outfile] [-r build-root] [entry ...]"
+This is a dynamic variant of the \s-1RPM\s0 \f(CW%files\fR section, i.e., it
+dynamically creates the contents of the \f(CW%files\fR section for use with
+the \f(CW\*(C`%files \-f\*(C'\fR command. For this the file list entries are read from
+the command line (or from stdin if no arguments are given or a single
+argument \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR is given) and written to stdout (if no \fB\-o\fR option is
+given or its \fIoutfile\fR argument is \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR) or to \fIoutfile\fR.
+.Sp
+The trick of this approach is to be able to use additional features in
+the file list which \s-1RPM\s0 does not provide. The following features are
+provided:
+.RS 4
+.IP "\fBTrailing Tags\fR" 4
+.IX Item "Trailing Tags"
+\&\s-1RPM\s0 requires that all tags (like \f(CW\*(C`%attr(...)\*(C'\fR or \f(CW%dir\fR) preceed the
+path in a file list entry. This sometimes leads to ugly and unreadable
+file lists, because all paths cannot be left\-aligned. With \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8)
+tags in the input file list can be at leading and trailing positions.
+The output file list will nevertheless have all tags in leading
+positions for \s-1RPM\s0.
+.IP "\fBSyntactical Set Pattern\fR" 4
+.IX Item "Syntactical Set Pattern"
+\&\s-1RPM\s0 supports simple wildcard patterns like \f(CW\*(C`/path/*\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`/path/[a\-z]\*(C'\fR,
+etc. Sometimes it is convenient, to also have (in addition to character
+sets) string sets like \f(CW\*(C`/path/{foo,bar,quux}\*(C'\fR. \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8) provides this
+by syntactically (without checking the filesystem) expanding those
+string sets.
+.IP "\fBOverriding Entries\fR" 4
+.IX Item "Overriding Entries"
+This is the most important feature and the reason why \fIshtool\fR\|(1)'s
+\&\fBfiles\fR command was implemented. Although \s-1RPM\s0 allows one to specify a
+directory in a file list and then implicitly expands this recursively
+into its contents, it unfortunately does not allow one to later
+explcitly override particular entries (usually if an individual
+\&\f(CW\*(C`%attr(...)\*(C'\fR tag is required). \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8) now supports overriding
+entries, i.e., if a path occurs multiple times, only the last occurance
+is kept.
+.IP "\fBNegation Tag\fR" 4
+.IX Item "Negation Tag"
+This provides an additional tag \f(CW%not\fR which can be used to explicitly
+exclude a previously implicitly added entry.
