What is the difference in the following 2 commands:
rpm -qlp <filename>.rpm
rpm -qilp <filename>.rpm
I know the -i flag is for install but how does that relate to producing different outputs, as in the following example:
[vagrant@10 ~]$ rpm -qlp nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm | wc -l
98
[vagrant@10 ~]$ rpm -qilp nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm | wc -l

When rpm is called in query mode -q, the -i flag is for displaying package information not for install.
From the man page of rpm:
PACKAGE QUERY OPTIONS:
-i, --info
Display package information, including name, version,
and description. This uses the --queryformat if one was specified.
You can easily see the difference if do not pipe the output to wc but rather look at the output of your commands. For example:
diff <(rpm -qlp nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm) <(rpm -qilp nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm)

thanks for this; however I noticed that these two flags, i.e.-qand-icannot be combined alone;[vagrant@10 ~]$ rpm -qi nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm package nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64.rpm is not installed

@pkaramol: They work together just fine, but withoutpyou need to specify the name of an installed package.
