+=head1 NAME
+
+urpmi.files - files used by the urpmi tools
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The urpmi tools (urpmi, urpme, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.update, etc.) use
+several different files to store the state of the RPM repositories (or
+media). This manual page documents them.
+
+=head1 FILES
+
+=over
+
+=item I<< /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.<media_name>.cz >>
+
+Contains information about all known packages.
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg>
+
+Contains media descriptions. See urpmi.cfg(5).
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg>
+
+Contains proxy descriptions for http and ftp media. See proxy.cfg(5).
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg>
+
+Contains the descriptions of parallel aliases, one per line. Their general
+format is B<< <alias>:<interface[(media)]>:<interface_parameter> >> where
+B<< <alias> >> is a symbolic name to identify the parallel alias, B<<
+<interface> >> is one of the parallel install methods (can be B<ka-run> or
+B<ssh>), B<< <media> >> is a media list (as given to the B<--media>
+parameter), and finally B<< <interface_parameter> >> is a specific interface
+parameter list like C<-c ssh -m node1 -m node2> for B<ka-run> extension or
+C<node1:node2> (list of node hostnames) for B<ssh> extension.
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/skip.list>
+
+The list of packages that should not be automatically
+updated when using --auto-select. It contains one package expression per line;
+either a package name, or a regular expression (if enclosed in slashes
+B</>) to match the name of packages against. (Actually, it's matched against
+the full name of the package, which has the form B<name-version-release.arch>.)
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/inst.list>
+
+The list of packages that should be installed instead of updated. It has
+the same format as the skip.list.
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/prefer.list>
+
+The list of packages that should be preferred (useful for choices with
+B<--auto>). It contains one package expression per line; either a package
+name, or a regular expression (if enclosed in slashes B</>) to match the name
+of packages against.
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list>
+
+Vendor specific version of similar to prefer.list.
+
+=item I</etc/urpmi/netrc>
+
+This file is handled by urpmi: when adding a media from an URL containing a
+password, urpmi will remove the password from the URL written into urpmi.cfg
+and write it in this file.
+
+=item I<< /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list >>
+
+Contains the name of the packages that were selected indirectly, ie not requested by user
+(eg: libxxxN). It is used to detect orphans (try C<urpme --auto-orphans> and see).
+
+The format of the file is: one package name per line, or optionally "xxx (required by ...)"
