> +Some useful tools for working with and troubleshooting macros:
+
+*rpm --eval "*_EXPRESSION_*"*
+	Expand macro _EXPRESSION_ on the command line.
+
+*rpm --define "aa 11" --eval "%aa"*
+	Define and evalue a macro on the command line.
+
+*rpmlua -e 'print(macros.defined("\_libdir"))'*
+	Using the embedded Lua interpreter in standalone form, print
+	print 1/0 whether macro *\_libdir* is defined or not.
+
+*rpmspec --shell telnet.spec*
+	Run interactive shell on the macro environment after parsing
+	*telnet.spec*.
+

TIL about `rpmspec --shell`, it's rather handy!
