如何找到在centOS 7上安装binutils的位置？

Question

I used the following commands to install binutils on centOS 7:

$ sudo yum install binutils
Package binutils-2.27-28.base.el7_5.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Then I query where it's installed by

$ rpm -q binutils
binutils-2.27-28.base.el7_5.1.x86_64

But I still don't know where it's installed. How do I find where it installed?

Answer 1

Some thing like this

rpm -ql binutils-2.27-28.base.el7_5.1.x86_64

The general command to find where is the package is installed is

rpm -ql <package>

Answer 2

To find out the location where all the files are installed for a given packagename you can use:

rpm -ql package_name

It basically lists all the files that are installed on your system using the required package name. So it gives the complete plath for the files that the package has installed on your system.
