SYNOPSIS

9       rpm2cpio [filename]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       rpm2cpio  converts  the  .rpm  file specified as a single argument to a
13       cpio archive on standard out.  If a  '-'  argument  is  given,  an  rpm
14       stream is read from standard in.
15
16       Note:  the  CPIO  format cannot host individual files over 4GB in size,
17       and so this tool is considered obsolete.  Use rpm2archive instead.
