If using the standard CentOS packages is there a way to print the options that were specified when the package was built? For example

# rpm -qi at Name : at Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 3.1.10 Vendor: CentOS
Release : 44.el6_5.2 Build Date: Tue 07 Oct 2014 03:35:22 AM CDT
Install Date: Fri 17 Oct 2014 02:38:44 PM CDT Build Host: c6b9.bsys.dev.CentOS.org Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: at-3.1.10-44.el6_5.2.src.rpm Size : 86228 License: GPLv2+
Signature : RSA/SHA1, Tue 07 Oct 2014 07:57:22 AM CDT, Key ID 0946fca2c105b9de Packager : CentOS BuildSystem
URL : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/at Summary : Job spooling tools Description :
At and batch read commands from standard input or from a specified file. At allows you to specify that a command will be run at a particular time. Batch will execute commands when the system load levels drop to a particular level. Both commands use user’s shell.

You should install the at package if you need a utility for time-oriented job control. Note: If it is a recurring job that will need to be repeated at the same time every day/week, etc. you should use crontab instead.

What options were used to build this package?
