Ideally all of the "what" options in rpm should be supported.
$ man rpm|grep what
        [--whatprovides CAPABILITY] [--whatrequires CAPABILITY]
        [--whatrecommends CAPABILITY] [--whatsuggests CAPABILITY]
        [--whatsupplements CAPABILITY] [--whatenhances CAPABILITY]
        [--whatobsoletes CAPABILITY] [--whatconflicts CAPABILITY]
       --whatobsoletes CAPABILITY
       --whatprovides CAPABILITY
       --whatrequires CAPABILITY
       --whatconflicts CAPABILITY
       --whatrecommends CAPABILITY
       --whatsuggests CAPABILITY
       --whatsupplements CAPABILITY
       --whatenhances CAPABILITY
       rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available.
$ man urpmq|grep what
       -p, --whatprovides
       --whatrequires
           Reverse search to what requires the package given.
       --whatrequires-recursive
           Reverse search to what requires recursively the package given (looking through virtual packages).
