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 downloaded.

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

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

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 repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

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