We located an application recommended by one of customers
for sharing certain data.  It was available for installation
using a few different methods.  Using yum was also recommended
for the installation.  The install instructions began with
what appeared to be a fairly typical command as indicated
below (with the URL slightly altered).

sudo rpm --import https://rpm.xxxxx.com/rpmrepo.key

To our junior employee assigned to perform the install
on a test system, it seemed like a good idea to do some
checking on the rpm option --import indicated in those
instructions.  They did not find the --import in any of
the 14 pages of the CentOS 7 man page for rpm.
Well I wouldn't called obvious, but the rpm man page has a "see also"
for rpmkeys(8) and this man page documents the rpm key related options.

Thanks for this info. Definitely NOT something anyone would know about! :/

I don't know how it came to be that rpm --import just quietly
does rpmkeys --import without documenting it though...
