.SH NAME
-urpmf \- RPMFind - Finds the RPM package providing specified files
+urpmf \- Finds the packages matching some conditions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B urpmf [\fIoptions\fP] <\fIpattern\fP>
.SH DESCRIPTION
-urpmf outputs a list of packages providing the file specified as an argument.
+By default, urpmf outputs a list of packages providing the file specified as an
+argument on the command-line.
.PP
-\fIpattern\fP is the name or part of the name of the file you wish to know which
-packages are providing it. \fBurpmf\fP will then print a list of matching files
-with their corresponding packages.
+<\fIpattern\fP> is the name or part of the name of the file you want to locate.
+Regular expressions are allowed. \fBurpmf\fP will then print a list of matching
+files, with their corresponding packages. By using options, you may format
+output differently, and search through other rpm tags.
.PP
-Using options you may search through other packages' parameters.
