- As the script resides in the ''rpm/SPECS'' subdirectory of your home, first you need to change your current directory to that of the script:
+ You can invoke {{{builder}}} (note that as the script is now in {{{rpm-build-tools}}}, you no longer need to change the working directory) to see the list of possible parameters:
  
  {{{
- $ cd
- $ cd rpm/SPECS

- 
- Now you can invoke {{{./builder}}} (remember that the dot and slash at the beginning are crucial) to see the list of possible parameters:
- 
- {{{
- $ ./builder
+ $ builder
  }}}
  
  The general syntax is as follows:
  
  {{{
- $ ./builder [options] package[.spec]
+ $ builder [options] package[.spec]
  }}}
  
  The {{{.spec}}} file extension is optional, {{{builder}}} will append it for you if needed.
