NAME
       yumdownloader - download RPM packages from Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS
       yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]

DESCRIPTION
       yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       -h, help
              Help; display a help message and then quit.

       destdir DIR
              Specify  a  destination directory for the download.  Defaults to
              the current directory.

       urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would  be  down‐
              loaded.

       resolve
              When  downloading  RPMs,  resolve dependencies and also download
              the required packages.

       source
              Instead of downloading the  binary  RPMs,  download  the  source
              RPMs.

       archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
              Limit  the  query  to packages of given and compatible architec‐
              tures. Valid values are all architectures known to rpm/yum  such
              as  'i386'  and  'src' for source RPMS. Note that repoquery will
              now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the  archlist.  So
              "archlist=i386,i686" will change yum's canonical arch to i386,
              but allow packages of i386 and i686.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
       Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the  yum(8)  man
       page for more information


EXAMPLES
       Download the kernel RPM to /var/tmp:
              yumdownloader destdir /var/tmp kernel

       List the URL for the kernel and kernel-smp RPMs:
              yumdownloader urls kernel kernel-smp

FILES
       As yumdownloader uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information,
       it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repos‐
       itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/
