yum command for directories

I know that the command:

yum provides filename

gives the name of the package that created and installed the file. I am looking for an
equivalent command that can apply to directories. Is there a command for determing what
package created and installed a directory in Linux 6,5, 64 bit Centos?

Thanks,

yum whatprovides and rpm -qf work for directories as well. Take in mind that all the default system directories are provided by the package filesystem. Others could have been created by other packages, but some (parent) directories don't belong to any package if they have been created together with their sub-directories. For example on my CentOS system I have a directory named /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.0.084 and

Code:

$ rpm -qf /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.0.084

intel-openmp-084-12.0-0.x86_64

intel-openmp-devel-084-12.0-0.x86_64

intel-compilerpro-common-084-12.0-0.noarch

intel-compilerpro-vars-084-12.0-0.noarch

...

but if I try the parent directory /opt/intel I get no results:

Code:

$ rpm -qf /opt/intel

file /opt/intel is not owned by any package

even if it has been created from the aforementioned intel packages.

Thanks I will try it.
