source rpms - which one?

Vincent Fleming — Wed, 05 Mar 2003 15:56:01 GMT

I'm a little new to Linux (but have a unix background), and I'm having trouble finding which source RPM has the code for the general user commands like "cat", "ls", and all that.

Does anyone know which SRPM that is?

Thanks,

Vince

Nevermind... found a reference on the 'net about using "rpm -wf /bin/cat" to get the rpm package name... now I know which srpm to load...

Thanks anyway!

"w" option doesn't exist.

To see what package a file belongs to: rpm -qf.

# rpm -wf /bin/cat
-wf: unknown option

# rpm -qf /bin/cat
textutils-2.0.14-2
