"The Linux Programmer's Toolbox," by John Fusco, which, other than

Cites an error in the book relating to query tables, then has this text
(which might be the reviewer's), Try this example:
rpm -qa --qf '%vendorn' | sort | uniq -c
1 Adobe Systems, Incorporated
12 (none)
1 RealNetworks, Inc
838 Red Hat, Inc.
1 Sun Microsystems
