Which command lists all files installed as part of the nano package?

• A. rpm -qd nano
• B. rpm -ql nano
• C. rpm -qa nano
• D. rpm -qf /usr/bin/nano

Answer: (B)

To see every file that a package placed on the system, you need to query the package and list its files. In rpm, the -q option means query, and the -l option means list the files installed by a package. So the command to show all files installed as part of the nano package is rpm -ql nano. It will print paths like the executable in /usr/bin/nano and related files such as documentation and man pages.

Other rpm options don’t give the full package contents: -qd would show only documentation files, not the entire file set; -qa with a pattern might locate the package name but won’t list all of its files; -qf /path/to/file tells you which package owns a specific file, not the complete listing of that package’s files.
