The man page say "--qf", that is, 2 hyphens.
[kwall@krwtest]$ rpm -q glibc --qf %{NAME}
glibc
$ rpm -q glibc --qf "%{RPMVERSION} %{BASENAMES} %{NAME}"
4.0.3 ld.so.conf glibc[kwall@krwtest]$
[kwall@krwtest]$ rpm -q glibc --qf "RPM Version:\t%{RPMVERSION}\nName:\t%{NAME}\n"
RPM Version: 4.0.3
Name: glibc
