Find the software package that provides the specified command

When there is a command in the system, you can use rpm-qf/path/to/command to find the package for which the command was installed. However, if the command to be used does not exist, how can we find the software package that provides the command.

Yum can solve this problem

# yum help | grep providesprovides       Find what package provides the given value

For example, you need to find the command that provides the genhash command,

# yum provides */genhashkeepalived-1.2.7-3.el6.x86_64 : High Availability monitor built upon LVS, VRRP and service pollersRepo        : CentOS64Matched from:Filename    : /usr/bin/genhash

Note: */or * bin/must be added before the content to be searched; otherwise, the content may not be found.

# yum provides genhash  Warning: 3.0.x versions of yum would erroneously match against filenames. You can use "*/genhash" and/or "*bin/genhash" to get that behaviourNo Matches found
