This is correct, although when using '-p' you must still use '-q'.
('-p' only denotes that the query should file from an rpm file instead
of the rpm database).  So maybe this makes sense:

#define rpm_full_usage "\n\n" \
       "Manipulate RPM packages\n" \
     "\nOptions:" \
     "\n        -i      Install package" \
     "\n        -q      Query package" \
     "\n        Query flags:" \
     "\n        i       information" \
     "\n        l       contents" \
     "\n        d       documents" \
     "\n        c       config files" \
     "\n        p file  query rpm file" \

Hope that helps,
