NAME

6       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argu‐
14       ment to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no  argument
15       is  given,  an  rpm  stream is read from standard input. In both cases,
16       rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard output  is
17       a  terminal.  Therefore,  the output is usually redirected to a file or
18       piped through the cpio(1) utility.
