ghost?()

@return [Boolean] True if the file is marked as ghost

This flag indicates the file should not be included in the package. It can be used to name the needed attributes for a file that the program, when installed, 

  will create.

For example, you may want to ensure that a program’s log file has certain attributes.

This modifier is used for files or links that are created during the %post scripts but will need to be removed if the package is removed

@return [Boolean] True if the file is marked as configuration not to be replaced

This flag is used to protect local modifications. If used, the file will not overwrite an existing file that has been modified. If the file has not been modified on disk, the rpm command will overwrite the file. But, 

  if the file has been modified on disk, the rpm command will copy the new file with an extra
  file-name extension of .rpmnew.
