.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.
.PP
Using options you may search though other packages parameters.
\fBurpmf\fP searches through installed and uninstalled packages.
.SH OPTIONS

Select specific media to use instead of all media available (or update media is
\fB--update\fP is used).
.IP "\fB\--excludemedia\fP \fImedium1,...,mediumN\fP"
Do not use the given media.
.IP "\fB\--sortmedia\fP \fImedium1,...,mediumN\fP"
Sort the given media, substrings may be used to simplify grouping.
.IP "\fB\--synthesis\fP \fIfile\fP"

.IP "\fB\--quiet\fP"
Do not print tag name (default if no tag given on command line, incompatible
with interactive mode).
.IP "\fB\--uniq\fP"

.IP "\fB\--epoch\fP"
Search through epoch.
.IP "\fB\--summary\fP"
Search through summary.
.IP "\fB\--description\fP"

Ignore case distinctions in any patterns.
.IP "\fB-f\fP"
Print version, release and arch along with name of package.
.IP "\fB-e\fP"

.SH FILES
.de FN
\fI\|\\$1\|\fP
..
.TP
.FN /usr/bin/urpmf
The \fBurpmf\fP executable (perl script).
.TP
.FN /var/lib/urpmi/list.*
Contains the list of all packages known by urpmi and their location only
if a password is used to access distant location (using network protocol) or
various directory are used to store packages.
.TP
.FN /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.*
Contains information about all known packages, it's a summary of rpm headers.
If an hdlist file is used for a medium \fBurpmf\fP can operate completely which
is almost always the case (please refer to \fBurpmf\fP man page for more
informations on this topic).
.TP
.FN /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.*
Contains synthesis information about all known packages built from hdlist files
that can be used by minimal closure algorithm. If these files are not present
hdlist files will be used instead but this is much slower.
.TP
.FN /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
Contains media description, previous format from older urpmi is still accepted.
.TP
.FN /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg
Contains parallel alias description, format is
\fB<alias>:<interface[(media)]>:<interface_parameter>\fP where \fB<alias>\fP is
a symbolic name, \fB<interface>\fP can be \fBka-run\fP or \fBssh\fP,
\fB<media>\fP is a media list (as \fB--media\fP parameter),
\fB<interface_parameter>\fP is a specific interface parameter list like "-c ssh
-m node1 -m node2" for \fBka-run\fP extension or "node1:node2" for \fBssh\fP
extension.
.TP
.FN /etc/urpmi/skip.list
Contains package expressions that should not be automatically updated. The
format is a list of provide of package (or regular expression if bounded by
slashes \fB/\fP) with optional operator and version string, or regular
expression to match the fullname of packages too.
.TP
.FN /etc/urpmi/inst.list
Contains package names that should be installed instead of updated.
