 Provides Command
##################

Synopsis
========

``dnf5 provides [global options] <package-spec-PFB>...``


Description
===========

The ``provides`` command in ``DNF5`` finds the packages providing the given ``<package-spec-PFB>``.


Examples
========

``dnf5 provides tito``
    | Outputs which packages provide the command ``tito``.


``dnf5 provides /usr/bin/tito``
    | Outputs which package provides the file ``/usr/bin/tito``

``dnf5 provides zless``
    | There is no ``Provides`` for zless but a package that contains ``zless`` exist.
    | Outputs the package that provides the file ``/usr/bin/zless``

.. note::
   New behavior: if one or more packages are not found by provides DNF5 will now return
   exit code 1 and list all provides that do not match at the end of the output.


``dnf5 provides rpm nonexistent_package``
    | Output provides for ``rpm`` and inform in ``stderr`` that ``nonexistent_package``
    | did not match any result.
