NAME

   yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell

SYNOPSIS

   yum shell [filename]

DESCRIPTION

   yum  includes  an interactive shell for conducting multiple commands or
   sets of commands during a single execution of yum. These  commands  can
   be  issued manually or passed to yum from a file. The commands are much
   the same as the normal yum command line options. See  here  yum(8)  for
   that information. There are a few additional commands documented below.

   config
             [argument] [value]
             args: debuglevel, errorlevel, obsoletes, gpgcheck, assumeyes,
          exclude
               If no value is given it prints the current value.
               If value is given it sets that value.

   repo
             [argument] [option]
               list: lists repositories and their status
               enable: enable repositories. option = repository id
               disable: disable repositories. option = repository id

   transaction
             [argument]
               list: lists the contents of the transaction
               reset: reset (zero-out) the transaction
               solve: run the dependency solver on the transaction
               run: run the transaction

Examples

   The following are examples of using the yum shell.

           list available packagename*
           groupinfo 'Some Group'
           install foo
           remove bar
           update baz
           run

          That  will   list   available   packages   matching   the   glob
          'packagename*'.   It  will return information on the group 'Some
          Group' It will then  queue  the  following  commands  into   the
          transaction: install foo, remove bar, update baz. Then the 'run'
          command will resolve dependencies for the  transaction  commands
          and run the transaction.
